Myth: A low quote for a will or legal-kit will save you money.2015-07-28T14:25:27+10:00

A will-kit or low quote advertised on-line (without even speaking with you) or elsewhere may seem an attractive option. It isn’t.

How could you possibly be provided an adequate level of service for such a quote in what is probably one of the most important transactions in your lifetime? How can your interests properly be protected without someone rolling up their sleeves and spending a good amount of time going through your circumstances and structures? The reality is they can’t.

In these times many of us have relatively complex arrangements in place: more complicated than we often fully appreciate ourselves. Blended families are far more common (either directly or as part of an extended family). Financial structures such as companies and trusts are common place.

Are you leaving control of your assets to those people who you actually intended? Could you be leaving your assets in such a way that your estate is unnecessarily exposed to considerable tax consequences?

Unless you’ve had experience in the flow-on effects or poor planning choices the chances are you won’t know you’ve made an error of judgment until it’s too late. Worse still, it will likely be your loved ones who carry the burden, emotionally and financially, of those choices.

Call now and take the first steps towards protecting your family’s future. We’ll be able to make an early assessment of the complexities of your situation and give you guidance on the best way forward.

What can go wrong?2016-11-21T15:45:44+10:00

A legal transaction as important and potentially risky as wills, powers of attorney, a property transfer or any other transaction can’t be under-estimated nor pigeon-holed. Every transaction and every person’s circumstances are unique. The potential challenges, risks and obstacles for each transaction need to be seriously considered.

Poorly drafted terms of a will or contract can leave you totally exposed with problems you didn’t know existed at the time. It can leave the family in the lurch financially and emotionally. Or it can leave your family exposed to litigation. Often issues can come to light many years down the track when it’s too late to do anything about it.

All of these things can cost you or your loved ones tens of thousands of dollars (or more), lead to bitter family dipsutes or lead to you being unable to pass on your property as you’d intended. We have the experience and local expertise to spot any potential pitfalls early.

We love challenges. We don’t run from a difficult challenge, we run towards it. We deliver specialised and expert advice that only a boutique firm like ours can offer. Call us now to find out what real service is like and learn how we can make a difference.

How do you charge?2015-07-28T14:00:54+10:00

Every transaction is distinct and unique. Some are straightforward. Others can be more complex.

We can quickly assess your situation, offer guidance and provide a genuine quote (with no hidden fees) so you can proceed with your transaction safe in the knowledge your fees won’t escalate beyond expectations.

Contrast this to fees offered by many of our competitors who will try to lure you in with seemingly low initial fees but who have ongoing or hidden costs that quickly balloon.

We genuinely offer great value for money: we are focused on ensuring your transaction costs are commercially realistic to the task at hand. And we’re confident we can save you considerably by finding the best costs-effective strategy for your circusmtances.

Are you family friendly?2015-07-28T13:52:28+10:00

Absolutely. We believe in the old saying ‘it takes a village to raise a child’ and children are welcome in our office at all times whether they sit in with their parents whilst talking to us or decide to utilise the separate room we have set up where they can play a game, colour in, watch a movie or play on an iPad.

Why are you different?2016-11-21T15:45:44+10:00

We appreciate how important this transaction is to you. We respect that. You won’t be channeled through call centres or get lost in a maze of bureaucracy with us.

We keep it personal and direct. You’ll deal with the same people throughout your entire transaction.

And we ensure your transaction is handled by experienced staff. Our senior staff have been working in this field and this region for decades. That experience helps us spot problems early.

Large firms (reliant on systems – not people) simply can’t deliver this unique level of personal care and expert service.

We also make a complex process simple for you. We work hard at any early stage to find any potential problems with your property or the transaction itself. Then we help you resolve them.

Call now and see what it’s like to get real service from real experts.

Which regions do you service?2015-07-28T13:46:43+10:00
