About Kerry-Ann

Kerry-Ann Smith is a seasoned legal professional with over a decade of dedicated experience in Wills, probate, and estate planning, specialising in estate litigation and probate. Her career includes a significant tenure at a large national law firm, where she successfully guided hundreds of clients to favourable settlements. In her earlier role at a boutique firm, she gained substantial expertise in the preparation of Wills, Powers of Attorney, and estate planning, which honed her ability to understand and address client needs effectively. Kerry-Ann is committed to simplifying the legal process during the challenging times following a loved one's passing, ensuring clients receive empathetic and clear guidance to reduce stress and uncertainty. Kerry-Ann's professional contributions extend beyond her practice; she is an active member of the legal community, participating in organisations such as the Victorian Women's Lawyers and the Western Suburbs Law Association. She also served on the Executive Committee of the Victorian Law Institute Elder Law Section and volunteered with the Council on The Ageing. Based in the western suburbs, Kerry-Ann primarily works from the Sunshine and Williamstown locations, travelling to the city as necessary. Away from her professional life, she enjoys staying fit and spending quality time on holidays with her family.
