Estate Planning

At Michael Dwyer Solicitor, our lawyers possess a wealth of experience in navigating the complex realm of wills, estates, and trusts. We offer comprehensive counsel on pre-litigation strategies, meticulous risk analysis, and documentation review, ensuring that our clients are well-prepared and protected. Our firm is dedicated to guiding you through the essential process of crafting a will, safeguarding your assets, and ensuring your wishes are respected. Whether addressing the potential for disputes from dissatisfied family members or the intricacies of intestacy, we aim to minimise the emotional and financial burden on your beneficiaries through strategic estate planning. Equally important is the preparation of an Enduring Power of Attorney. This essential document covers decisions regarding financial, property, and health matters when you're unable to do so yourself. Often called a Living Will, it complements the security a well-drafted will provides, offering peace of mind that your affairs will be managed according to your preferences, even in unforeseen circumstances. At Michael Dwyer Solicitor, we understand that life is unpredictable, which is why we encourage timely planning to protect your interests and ensure your legacy reflects your intentions.

Family Law

At Michael Dwyer Solicitor on the Gold Coast, we understand the intricacies and emotional challenges of family law. Our team is committed to providing clear, empathetic legal guidance across matters such as divorce, separation, and child custody arrangements. We focus on avoiding the high costs and stress of court proceedings by facilitating negotiations and settlements that meet the needs of all involved parties, including addressing property division, child and spousal maintenance, and more. Our proactive approach means we assess your unique situation during the initial consultation to determine the most appropriate course of action, whether through direct negotiation or mediation. In cases where court involvement becomes necessary, particularly concerning urgent issues like domestic violence or addiction-related matters, our experienced lawyers are prepared to advocate for your interests effectively and sensitively. We aim to resolve disputes fairly and equitably, ensuring that all parties feel heard and respected throughout the process. Our services encompass a wide range of family law concerns, from cohabitation and pre-nuptial agreements to emergency protection and exclusion orders, all tailored to support our clients during challenging times with professionalism and understanding.
