Estate Planning

Canny Legal provides comprehensive estate planning services designed to ensure the orderly management and transfer of your assets according to your wishes. Their approach goes beyond the preparation of Wills, encompassing the drafting of Powers of Attorney, Superannuation Binding Death Benefit Nominations, and the establishment of trust structures such as testamentary and special disability trusts. By integrating legal advice with financial and accounting insights, they tailor plans that address both personal and business circumstances, helping you to prepare effectively for significant life events including retirement, incapacity, or family changes. Their expertise extends to business succession planning and the careful management of assets that do not automatically form part of an estate, such as superannuation and family trusts. Understanding the nuances of these areas enables Canny Legal to help clients safeguard their wealth and minimise the risk of estate claims. They also recognise the importance of Powers of Attorney, empowering appointed individuals to make financial, lifestyle, or medical decisions if the client is unable to do so, thereby providing peace of mind for all adults regardless of age.
