Estate Planning

At Distinction Legal, our comprehensive Wills & Estates practice offers clients the assurance of expertly crafted legal documents that accurately reflect their wishes and provide for their loved ones. We understand the complexities involved in estate planning, from appointing executors to determining beneficiaries and providing for minors. Our experienced team ensures that your Will is not only legally valid but also structured to minimise the potential for disputes, thereby safeguarding your legacy. These common yet crucial concerns are addressed with a tailored approach, ensuring that all aspects of your estate are adequately considered. Navigating the probate process can be a daunting task, especially during a time of grief. At Distinction Legal, our proficient team can assist executors and administrators in securing necessary legal permissions from the Supreme Court of South Australia. We simplify the application for a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration, ensuring a smooth transition to estate administration. Additionally, if you find yourself under-provided for in a Will, our lawyers are prepared to act swiftly, leveraging our expertise to negotiate settlements or file necessary applications within the stringent timelines, thereby protecting your entitlements and interests.

Family Law

At Distinction Legal, we bring a compassionate yet strategic approach to property settlements in family law. Our experienced team understands the intricacies involved in resolving property disputes, whether they arise from marital or de facto relationship breakdowns. We are committed to providing comprehensive legal advice that seeks to minimise emotional and financial strain while safeguarding your interests. Through skilled negotiation and mediation, we strive to resolve matters amicably without resorting to court proceedings. However, should litigation become necessary, we ardently defend your rights to ensure fair and equitable outcomes under the Family Law Act 1975. In matters concerning children's welfare, we recognise the paramount importance of safety and stability during times of separation and divorce. Our legal professionals are dedicated to advocating for your parental rights and protecting the best interests of your children. With expertise in navigating complex issues such as spousal maintenance and child arrangements, we offer robust support throughout mediation processes and, if needed, court proceedings. By engaging a knowledgeable family lawyer, you ensure that your case is presented effectively, aiming always for outcomes that serve to uphold meaningful and secure relationships with your children.
