Wollongong Legal

Wollongong Legal offers comprehensive estate planning services, guiding clients through the drafting of wills that accurately reflect their intentions and provide for their loved ones. Their lawyers ensure wills are prepared clearly, validly, and updated when circumstances change, such as marriage, separation, or the birth of children. They also provide advice on the administration of estates, helping clients understand the responsibilities and rights of executors, trustees, and beneficiaries. In situations where a will is contested, Wollongong Legal supports clients in navigating claims under the Family Provisions Act 1982 (NSW), whether due to concerns about execution, capacity, undue influence, or insufficient provision. They assist eligible applicants in seeking family provision orders to secure proper maintenance and support. Additionally, the firm advises on intestacy matters where no will exists, including the appointment of administrators and the distribution of assets according to the Succession Act 2006.

Wollongong Legal provides comprehensive support for family law matters, addressing the often complex and sensitive issues that arise. Their approach balances professional expertise with personalised service, aiming to resolve matters efficiently and with minimal court involvement where possible. The team assists clients with property settlements through Consent Orders or Binding Financial Agreements, and offers guidance on parenting arrangements to ensure the best interests of children are met. When required, they are prepared to represent clients in court applications, working to achieve favourable outcomes.
