Estate Planning Holland Park

CNG Law solicitors are rich with knowledge and experience in all areas of Estate Planning and Wills and whether you are the beneficiary of an estate or have not been included and wish to obtain advice we are here to help to make more sense of these matters. We have a thorough understanding of the significance pertaining to these matters when that time does come as well as knowing the repercussions that can arise if a thought out and clear plan has not been produced. A well constructed Will prevents undesirable difficulties and conflict from occurring while allowing you to have your voice heard in how your estate is managed, once you have passed. Although a Will is not a requirement by law it is highly recommended, as if you do pass without one you are said to have died ‘intestate’. This means that your estate will be handled in accordance to the Succession Act 1981 (QLD) and your property will be dealt with within the provisions of this legislation and may be in a way that was not intended by you. At CNG Law Holland Park, we will work with you in creating your desired succession planning which includes the preparation of you Will, Power of Attorney, Advance Health Directives and Binding Death Nominations. We can encapsulate many, if not all, of your wishes within these documents examples of which are:

​

  • Who is appointed guardian for your infant children

  • Directions for your funeral (including cremation or burial wishes)

  • Appointment of Executors - being the person who, upon your passing, you choose to entrust to manage your estate according to your wishes

​

If you are appointed the Executor of a Will, there are a range of duties and responsibilities that you need to be made aware of and we are able to provide advice and assistance to allow optimal results. These obligations include:

​

  • Following Funeral directions and arranging the funeral

  • Bringing in the assets of the Estate (this can involve dealing with banks, land registries, share registries and other authorities

  • Paying debts of the deceased

  • Distributing the Estate to those entitled under the Will, or in accordance with Intestacy Rules

​
