Wills & Estates

A will makes sure your property goes to the people you choose, and names who will look after it.

  • We help with: wills, powers of attorney, appointing a medical treatment decision maker, probate, and disputes about a will.
  • Good to know: getting married usually cancels an existing will in Victoria. Separation or divorce can also affect it, so review your will after any big life change.
  • Bring: a list of what you own and owe, and the names of the people you want to benefit.
  • Cost: simple will $385.

Conveyancing

We handle the legal side of buying or selling property, from contract to settlement.

  • Buying: we review the contract and Section 32 statement before you sign, explain the risks, and manage settlement.
  • Selling: we prepare the contract and Section 32 statement before your property goes on the market.
  • Good to know: have the contract checked before you sign or bid. Cooling-off rights are limited and do not apply at auction.
  • Cost: buying $895, selling $955, plus expenses.

Personal Injury

If you have been injured, we explain your options and deal with insurers for you.

  • We help with: transport accident (TAC) claims, workplace injury claims, and injuries in public places.

Business & Contracts

Practical advice for small businesses and the people who run them.

  • We help with: setting up a business, buying or selling a business, leases, and drawing up or reviewing contracts.
  • Good to know: have a lease or contract checked before you sign. It is much cheaper than fixing it later.

  • Good to know: many disputes settle after a well-written letter or a mediation, without going to court.
