Wills

Establishing a Will ensures clear and consistent communication between all family members and people involved in managing your estate.

We cater for a variety of Wills including simple wills through to complex wills including trusts.

Enduring Power of Attorney

An Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA) is a legal document that lets you appoint someone (your 'attorney') to make financial and property decisions on your behalf.

An EPA is an independent document however is often drafted in conjunction with your will.

Enduring Power of Guardianship

An Enduring Power of Guardianship (EPG) is a legal document that allows your nominated guardian to make decisions about your care if you are no longer able to make these decisions because of illness or injury.

An EPG is often effected alongside an EPA to ensure both your personal and financial wishes are kept.

Grant of Probate

A Grant of Probate is a Court order confirming that a person's Will is valid and giving the executor authority to administer the estate.

Our experienced legal team assist executors in drafting, collating and filing Probate applications with the Supreme Court assisting with an often overwhelming task.

Letters of Administration

When someone dies without a Will, it is called dying intestate. In this case a Grant of Probate isn't possible. Instead someone close to the deceased must apply for Letters of Administration.

At HLB Lawyers we assist helping grieving families through the legal process of intestacy. Our team will help with the steps of applying to the Supreme Court for Letters of Administration.
