Daniel Legal Group provides comprehensive estate planning services designed to protect your assets and minimise unnecessary tax liability, ensuring your legacy is preserved for your loved ones. They advise on upgrading from simple wills to more sophisticated documents that incorporate trusts, such as testamentary discretionary trusts, which allow for greater flexibility in income distribution and tax efficiency. Their expertise covers strategic use of income streaming to beneficiaries, safeguarding assets from creditors, family law claims, and Centrelink means tests, and includes specialised trusts like Beneficiary Support Trusts and Special Disability Trusts to protect vulnerable beneficiaries. The firm also has significant experience in advising on family provision orders and how to effectively exclude certain individuals from wills to reduce legal challenges. Their approach emphasises flexibility, allowing executors and beneficiaries to adapt the distribution of assets as circumstances change, whether retaining assets within trusts or transferring directly. This modern estate planning methodology ensures clients’ wishes are honoured while providing optimal financial and legal protection for their beneficiaries.
