Wills & Estates​

Horn Legal provides prompt, professional services in matters relating to Wills and Estates. Your Will is an important legal document that sets out how all of your assets will be disposed of after your death, including any property you own, bank accounts, insurance policies, and vehicles. 

At Horn Legal, we have assisted numerous clients in planning Wills and Estates, carrying out their duties as Executors of Wills, and administering Estates. 

With 17 years of experience working with clients, Horn Legal knows it is vital to trust your Will with an expert who has your best interests at heart. We will help you navigate the spectrum of issues, from Estate Planning, assigning Power of Attorney, to arranging Grants of Probate, and managing Estates where there is no Will (known as “intestacy”).

Will Preparation

Horn Legal offers a high-quality, affordable service to prepare one of the most vital documents you will ever need: your Will. Unfortunately, more than half of all Australians pass away without leaving a Will, creating avoidable stress for their partners and loved ones.

At Horn Legal, we consult carefully with you (and other parties as required) to gain a comprehensive understanding of your situation. Working closely alongside you, we develop a Will that outlines your beneficiaries, names Executors, and records your wishes.

Our advice includes taking into account estate planning, the impact of subsequent marriages or re-partnering (if applicable), guardianship of minor children, superannuation and taxation issues, and matters relating to probate and administration. 

We also advise you on Powers of Attorney or Guardianship that allow others to carry out your wishes if you are unable to manage your affairs, for example due to health issues. Moreover, we support you with such complicated matters as special-purpose trusts or testamentary trusts. 

While there are numerous factors to consider, Horn Legal simplifies the process with our straightforward communication and experienced guidance.
