Estate Planning
At Macedone Legal, Sam Macedone and Dorian Kratsas provide comprehensive assistance with the preparation of Wills, Powers of Attorney, and Enduring Guardianship documents. They guide clients through the importance of having a valid Will to ensure that their assets are distributed according to their wishes, preventing complications and unintended beneficiaries under intestacy laws in New South Wales. Their expertise extends to preparing Powers of Attorney, enabling appointed individuals to make legal or financial decisions on behalf of the principal, and Enduring Guardianship documents, which authorise decisions regarding medical treatment and lifestyle when the principal is unable to make these decisions themselves. Simon O’Toole offers focused support in the administration of estates, including applying for Grants of Probate or Letters of Administration through the Supreme Court of New South Wales. He assists executors and administrators with managing estates in compliance with the terms of the Will and relevant legislation. Additionally, Simon provides guidance for those seeking to challenge Wills or pursue family provision claims, helping clients who believe they have been unfairly omitted or inadequately provided for under a deceased person’s estate.
