Supportive, Strategic Advice When It Matters Most

Protect Your Family's Future with Clear Estate Planning

Without proper estate planning, your loved ones could face months of legal uncertainty, expensive court battles, and decisions that don’t reflect your wishes. Many Melbourne families discover too late that outdated Wills, missing Powers of Attorney, or unclear instructions leave their children, assets, and final wishes in legal limbo.

Planning today for your family's tomorrow

What is Estate Planning?

Estate planning is the process of preparing legal documents and making decisions about what happens to your assets, family, and personal affairs when you pass away or become unable to make decisions for yourself.

  • The Cost of Delay is Too High

    Every day without an updated Will means:

    • Your assets could go to the wrong people – or be tied up in lengthy probate disputes

    • Your children’s guardianship could be decided by strangers in family court proceedings

    • Your family could face unnecessary tax burdens and legal fees that eat into their inheritance

    • Medical decisions might be made without your input if you can’t speak for yourself

    • Your cultural or religious values might be ignored in critical end-of-life situations

  • Resolve Legal's Compassionate Estate Planning

    • Simple and Complex Wills carefully tailored to your unique family situation

    • Executor and Guardian appointments with people you trust completely

    • Specific gifts and charitable bequests that truly reflect your values

    Islamic Wills (Shariah-Compliant)

    • Integration of Islamic and Australian legal obligations including debts and taxes

    • Guardian appointments for blended families respecting religious principles

    • Collaboration with Islamic scholars ensuring spiritual and legal alignment

  • Powers of Attorney & Medical Planning

    Without Powers of Attorney, your family could face court battles just to access your bank accounts or make urgent medical decisions. Ensure the people you trust can act immediately when you need them most, protecting both your wishes and your family's wellbeing.

    • Financial Power – Enduring Power of Attorney for comprehensive financial and legal decisions when needed

    • Medical Decisions – Medical Treatment Decision Maker appointments with people you can completely trust

    • Care Directives – Advance Care Directives reflecting your personal, religious, or cultural values and preferences
