Preparing Wills & Estates in Lismore
Provide Certainty for Your Family
Drafting a will is one of the most important things you can do, as is designating a power of attorney. In the case of the former, it will ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes–and not those of the government. In the case of the latter, it ensures that a person you designate is empowered to make decisions on you behalf when you’re no longer able to. David Hunter Solicitor in Lismore can help you with all details concerning your will, estates and power of attorney.
Our lawyers will advise you on matters concerning estate and probate laws. This is a legal process that’s sometimes required to validate a deceased person’s will–allowing the executor to carry out administration of the deceased person’s estate. For example, a financial institution may need a grant of probate to release the deceased person’s funds to the executor.
If you’d like to draft, update or revoke a will, contact our Lismore legal team today. You can reach us on (02) 6621 2611.
