Estate Planning

JMW Legal provides comprehensive estate planning services, assisting clients in preparing Wills that clearly outline the distribution of assets, appointment of executors, guardianship for children, and directions for funeral arrangements. Their team ensures all legal formalities are satisfied, helping clients to create Wills that are valid and less likely to be disputed, while addressing family dynamics such as blended families and potential exclusions. In the event of a death, JMW Legal offers expert guidance on estate administration, supporting executors and administrators through the complex processes of obtaining grants of probate or letters of administration, asset protection, and dispute management. They also advise eligible family members on family provision claims under Queensland law, helping to navigate the court’s considerations surrounding adequate support, financial dependence, and relationships among beneficiaries.

Family Law

JMW Legal offers comprehensive support for clients navigating family law and de facto relationship matters, including property settlements, children’s arrangements, and domestic and family violence issues. Their approach emphasises resolving disputes collaboratively where possible, often through mediation, to reduce the stress, costs, and time associated with court proceedings. With thorough expertise in Binding Financial Agreements, consent orders, and mediation, they guide clients in protecting their financial interests and securing arrangements that prioritise the best interests of children post-separation. In property settlement matters, JMW Legal assists both married and de facto couples to achieve a fair division of assets and liabilities, taking into account financial and non-financial contributions as well as future needs. They provide clear advice on formalising settlements to protect clients’ rights and facilitate necessary legal transactions. When parenting disputes arise, the firm advocates for arrangements fostering meaningful relationships with both parents, while ensuring children's safety in cases involving domestic violence or substance abuse. Their mediation services help clients negotiate agreements that can be formalised into legally binding consent orders, or if needed, navigate court processes efficiently.
