Expert Wills & Estate Planning Services Tailored to Your Needs

When assisting our clients with their estate planning, we take detailed instructions which help us to recommend the best structure for their estates following death.

When disputes arise we have considerable experience in advising on and litigating estate disputes, particularly applications for family provision.

We understand that making a Will can be confronting. There are often competing obligations which require careful consideration. Everyone’s circumstances are different.
We take the time to listen to you so that the outcome you are hoping to achieve, is reflected (where legally possible) in your Will.
Prudently you should make an advance appointment of someone that is able to act on your behalf if you are unable to manage your own affairs due to illness or injury, but also other circumstances such as traveling overseas.
Depending on the type of decision and your home state, this person may be an attorney, guardian and medical treatment decision maker.
It is important that the correct people are appointed to these roles. It is your decision and you need to have full confidence in the people you are appointing. Our experienced staff will explain the different roles and assist you in your decision in whom is appropriate.
The legislation covering this area of law differs between New South Wales and Victoria. Having always practiced on the border , Harris Lieberman understand these challenges and can ensure that you are correctly protected.
