About Us

DLT Legal is a boutique firm dedicated to assisting clients with family law, wills, estates, and related legal matters encountered daily. Despite being a new practice, our principal, Debra Twigg, brings over 25 years of diverse experience from both city and suburban legal environments. Since 2001, she has been recognised as an Accredited Specialist by the Law Institute of Victoria. Strategically situated on Heidelberg Road in Ivanhoe, directly opposite Darebin Railway Station, we are easily accessible to residents of Melbourne's northern and eastern suburbs. Debra Twigg, holding a Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Laws, is a seasoned family law practitioner committed to providing superior legal guidance in all aspects of family law. Our offerings encompass separation, divorce, and child living arrangements, extending to property settlements and financial agreements, including pre-nuptial agreements. We cater to a wide spectrum of family issues such as de facto partnership laws, mediation needs, and both national and international relocation challenges. Our expertise further covers spousal maintenance, child support, domestic violence matters, as well as intervention orders. We are adept at navigating complexities involving family trusts and superannuation splits, even within self-managed super funds. DLT Legal also provides comprehensive services in wills and estates. We believe every individual should have a will, but beyond that, we assist with establishing testamentary trusts, managing powers of attorney both medically and financially, and creating living wills. Our team is skilled in obtaining grants of probate and letters of administration, and we are equipped to challenge any unjust wills. Our legal services extend beyond family and estate law; we handle court appearances and property transactions, including buying, selling, and transferring property ownership. Additionally, we assist with applications to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal for guardian or administrator appointments, ensuring that we meet all our clients' diverse legal needs with precision and care.
