Preparing Wills

Creating a will is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your loved ones and ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes.
At Tonkin Drysdale Partners, we specialise in drafting wills that are clear, legally binding, and tailored to your specific circumstances.
Our experienced team will work closely with you to understand your goals and ensure that your will reflects your intentions accurately. Let us assist you in creating a will that will provide you and your family piece of mind, avoiding adverse consequences for your intended beneficiaries.

Powers of Attorney

A Power of Attorney is a vital legal document that allows you to appoint someone you trust to make legal and financial decisions on your behalf if you become unable to do so. Tonkin Drysdale Partners helps customers draft comprehensive and adaptable Powers of Attorney so that your legal and financial matters are handled in the way that best suits your wishes. Our experienced wills and estates team will guide you through the process, helping you understand the implications and ensuring that your document is tailored to your needs.

Appointments of Enduring Guardians

Planning for the future involves more than just financial decisions — it’s also about ensuring that your personal and health care needs are met if you are no longer able to make those decisions yourself. By appointing an Enduring Guardian, you can choose someone you trust to make important lifestyle and healthcare decisions on your behalf. We will help you understand the scope of these responsibilities and ensure that your appointment is appropriate to your circumstances and aligned with your wishes.

Estate Planning and Asset Protection

Estate planning is not just about writing a will, it’s about protecting your assets and ensuring your loved ones are taken care of in the future. Crucial estate planning decisions are now often made in the choice of financial products such as superannuation and insurance, and any ownership structures chosen for business and investment assets, to ensure the protection of assets and the minimisation of tax.

Applying for Grants of Probate

Managing a loved one’s estate after they pass away can be very difficult, particularly if you have been named executor. Tonkin Drysdale Partners ensures that you carry out your responsibilities with confidence and legal certainty by offering sympathetic and knowledgeable support when submitting applications for grants of probate. We will assist you every step of the way, from putting together the required paperwork to handling any potential legal issues, so you can take good care of the estate and manage it effectively.

Applying for Letters of Administration

If a loved one dies without a valid will, the process of managing their estate becomes more complex. At Tonkin Drysdale Partners we assist clients in applying for Letters of Administration, allowing you to legally administer the estate when there is no will. Our experienced team will help you navigate the legal requirements, ensuring that the process is as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Testamentary Trusts

Testamentary trusts, especially when caring for children or vulnerable beneficiaries, are an effective instrument for making sure that your assets are managed and dispersed in accordance with your wishes. Tonkin Drysdale Partners specialises in establishing Testamentary Trusts, which provide your loved ones with long-term security, flexibility, and tax advantages.
