From constructing a simple will to a testamentary trust will or more complex disputes involving assets located both in Australia and overseas, we’re here to guide you toward a satisfactory resolution and help secure the future of your family.
A Will or Testament is a legal document by which a person, the testator, expresses their wishes as to how their property is to be distributed after the death, what happens to their business or other things for which they are responsible, and names one or more persons, the executor, to manage the estate until its final distribution.
Our goal is to understand the needs of your family and estate in the long term, to create positive outcomes and attempt to prevent issues that may be raised and contested at court to minimise your financial and emotional costs.

CFS Legal’s Wills & Estate solicitors are specially trained to provide assistance in:
Making a Valid Will
Ensuring Your Will is Legally Valid
Guarantee your wishes are followed with a properly prepared will.
Preparing a valid will is the best way to ensure that your testamentary intentions are followed. After your passing, it determines not only who will be responsible for administering your estate and who will benefit from it, but also arrangements for your minor children and funeral.
Testamentary Trusts
Protecting Beneficiaries with Testamentary Trusts
Secure and optimise your legacy for at-risk beneficiaries.
It is a sophisticated Will, which creates trust or trust after the testator dies. The purpose of testamentary trusts is to protect at-risk beneficiaries and provide tax advantages.
Enduring Guardian
Appointing an Enduring Guardian for Your Well-being
Ensure your lifestyle decisions are in trusted hands when you’re unable to decide.
An appointment of enduring guardian appoints a person to make a range of lifestyle decisions, eg, where you live and what health care and other services are provided to you if you cannot make those decisions yourself.
Application for a Grant of Probate
Simplifying the Grant of Probate Process
Efficiently manage and distribute your estate according to your will.
Order for Probate is granted by the Supreme Court and authorises an Executor to administer the Estate according to the Will.
Applying for a grant may not be required for small estates or where the property was held jointly with a sole beneficiary. In such cases, the deceased’s share of the jointly held property can be transferred to the surviving owner.
Letters of Administration
Understanding Letters of Administration
Handle estates without a will effectively through legal guidance.
An Order for Letters of Administration is a specific order of distribution of an estate to the deceased’s next of kin when a person passed away without a Will. The distribution is by a statutory formula.
