Wills and Succession Planning

At Baré Legal we believe that planning ahead gives you control and peace of mind over the future of your affairs and can ensure that your family are guided through this challenging time. Preparing for life after your death is incredibly important. Illness and death is something that will affect us all at some stage and whilst often, it is uncomfortable to think about, ensuring your affairs are in order provides relief and comfort for those you leave behind.  Our team can assist you with preparing a valid Will taking in to account your unique circumstances.  

Will making is a specialised task, often requiring consideration of complex financial, legal and taxation issues including personal and business assets, family structures, vulnerable beneficiaries, whether property ownership is held individually or jointly, consideration for assets that will or will not form part of your estate, such as superannuation and whether there is any benefit in creating trusts in your Will.   

Our lawyers will listen to your wishes and consider your circumstances to advise you the best way to achieve what you want to happen after your passing. 

We are here to ensure your future estate planning needs are met.

Our team of lawyers are well equipped to aid those who are navigating the administration of a deceased estate; whether through supplying advice only or by acting on behalf of an Estate.

Estate Administration

The role of an Executor can be very complex and often overwhelming at a time when emotions are high.  If you are trying to navigate how to manage a Deceased Estate, our team can help you understand your obligations.  We can simply provide advice on the steps you are required to take moving forward or we can act on your behalf in administering the Estate.  

Whilst online Will kits are often a more cost effective alternative to a Will being drafted by a lawyer, they are not a genuine alternative.  Often a poorly drafted or invalid Will can be more problematic than having no Will at all.

Property Law / Conveyancing

Our team can help you with all property related transactions.  This includes conveyancing for sales, purchases, transfers and more.  Our team are equipped to assist with applying/removing caveats, transmission and survivorship applications and the often-complex NICO subdivisions.  Our combination of experienced conveyancing clerks are overseen by lawyers who will assist with complex matters and together they can assist you no matter your property needs.

VOCAT

Our dedicated team can assist you to identify if you are eligible to make an application to the Tribunal for assistance.  We will support you in navigating the application process with ease and understanding.
