Estate Planning

You work hard to build your wealth and accumulate your assets. It is important not to lose them on your death or incapacity or to unintended beneficiaries, tax, creditors or family law settlements.

At Briese Lawyers, we can help you with all areas of Estate Planning, including:

  • Effective transfer of assets to children, grandchildren and other beneficiaries
  • Protecting inheritances from creditors and family breakdown
  • Minimising tax payable on inheritances
  • Managing financial and personal affairs upon loss of mental capacity using Enduring Powers of Attorney and Advanced Health Directives
  • Establishing Testamentary Trusts

  • Probate applications or letters of administration
  • The transfer and realisation of assets
  • The payment of debts
