What is Estate Planning?

Estate planning is the process of legally outlining how your assets, responsibilities, and wishes will be managed if you pass away or become unable to make decisions yourself.

It’s more than just a will. A comprehensive plan can cover:

  • Who inherits your property, savings, and valuables?
  • Guardianship for your children.
  • Directions for medical care if you’re unable to speak for yourself.
  • Who has the authority to make financial decisions on your behalf.

Engaging a Lawyer for Estate Planning isn’t just about paperwork—it’s about protection. Lawyers can:

  • Ensure your will complies with Victorian law.
  • Help you structure your estate to minimise tax implications.
  • Update your documents as your life circumstances change.
  • Provide strategies to safeguard assets from potential disputes.
