Guidance Law

Guidance Law is dedicated to delivering high-quality legal services in the fields of Wills & Estates and Property, ensuring clients receive expert advice tailored to their specific needs. By maintaining a small but highly proficient team, we offer personalised services where clients benefit from direct communication with our Principal Solicitor, Tracey Dwyer. Our firm specialises in Estate Planning which encompasses Will drafting, establishing powers of attorney, and enduring guardianship, as well as addressing all facets of elder law. Additionally, we handle Deceased Estates, guiding clients through Probate and Letters of Administration. In real estate, our services extend to aiding in residential property transactions, and we offer robust support for Will Challenges and Family Provision claims in accordance with the Succession Act 2006 (NSW). Guidance Law is committed to accessibility, offering consultations in the Sutherland Shire and undertaking home visits for clients unable to travel to our Miranda office. Our Estate Planning services include structured Will drafting to ensure legal intentions are clearly represented, and assisting with establishing power of attorney and enduring guardianship to manage future personal and financial matters. We offer comprehensive advice on granny flat arrangements, ensuring agreements are documented to safeguard interests. Guidance on entering retirement village contracts is provided, as these agreements impact living arrangements and estate planning under the Retirement Villages Act 1999 (NSW). We support clients in NCAT Guardianship Division matters, assisting in guardianship or financial management applications, or reviewing management cases where elder abuse is suspected. Additionally, we offer assistance with Probate and Letters of Administration applications, providing support and clear communication throughout the process. Our approach to estate administration is both detailed and efficient, recognising the intricate responsibilities executors face, including potential taxation issues. This ensures executors fulfil their duties in compliance with all legal obligations, offering peace of mind. For those questioning executor actions, beneficiaries are informed of their rights to request documentation, ensuring transparency and accountability. Our team offers conveyancing services to simplify residential property transactions, ensuring clients are informed of all financial obligations and legal requirements. Beyond conveyancing, our tailored advice protects client interests in real property scenarios, including joint tenancy severance or securing family loans against property. We guide clients through complex caveat processes, ensuring rightful property claims are protected. If questioning the adequacy of provision under the Succession Act 2006 (NSW), we offer an initial consultation to determine eligibility for estate claims. We then provide detailed analysis and advice specific to client circumstances. For Will challenges, we provide prompt assistance in filing necessary caveats to prevent probate until matters are resolved. Our approach ensures any claimants are supported thoroughly in seeking to declare a Will invalid if applicable grounds exist.
