Wills & Estate Planning
Have you made a Will? Is it something on your to-do-list that you just haven’t got around to yet?
An important aspect of life-planning is securing the financial future of your family by making a valid Will and appointing a Power of Attorney. We can help you navigate the process with a simplified, stress-free, yet professional approach that will enable you to be well informed and prepared for the future.

What is a Will?
A Will is a legal document which sets out how a person (the testator) intends to distribute their assets after their death. The most important part of making a Will is meeting the necessary legal requirements to ensure that it is valid.
If a Will is found to be invalid after a person’s death, their assets and debts will be distributed using a predetermined formula. This is the same process that would apply if you had not made a Will.
When you make a Will, it must be in writing; be signed by the testator in the presence of two or more witnesses; and must include the witnesses’ signatures.

Why You Need a Will?
A common misconception is that dying without a valid Will in place is not really such a big deal! However, this is certainly not the case, particularly if you think of your family, friends and loved ones, who are left behind to navigate what you would have liked to occur with your personal assets, and to determine what your final wishes would have perhaps been.
If you die without a valid will it is called ‘dying intestate’. There are set rules to decide who gets your assets. These rules apply to everyone and do not consider an individual’s wishes or situation.
Regardless of whether you have a little or a lot in terms of personal assets and wealth, it is important that you address and outline your wishes with a Will, ensuring that your wishes are fulfilled in accordance with what you actually want rather than what is speculated.

My partner and I have worked with Luke as a solicitor for the sale of two properties and purchase of our new home. He has been friendly and efficient with his communication on all occasions and ensured we fully understood the process to be undertaken each time. I would highly recommend Luke and Bush to Beach Legal to anyone in need of a solicitor.
Luke was professional from the start. He was very prompt and efficient in dealing with issues during the conveyancing of the sale of my mother's property. He was always approachable and flexible in providing alternative arrangements, if required. We would be more than happy to refer him onto others.
I have used Luke for both purchasing and selling of our properties. His professionalism and easy to understand advice and details made the whole process very easy and stress free. He was very easy to contact and happy to answer all my questions during the process. I would recommend Luke to all needing his services.
We've used Luke's services for a number of real estate properties, both buying and selling. He does an amazing job. We feel so confident having Luke in our corner. He has a wealth of knowledge and steps you through the process. Couldn't speak more highly of him as a person and in his professional capacity. A+++++
Luke is amazing. As a first home buyer I had no idea the process and what I needed to do from a legal standpoint. Luke is extremely knowledgeable, while also being calm, straight forward, and navigates the home buying process with ease. Nothing ever felt like a big deal, even though there were some big hurdles. Luke is very responsive, and was able to answer all my questions throughout the process, and ensure my interests were protected.
