What happens at the first interview?

It depends on your what you want and where you want go from the first interview. We usually ask you questions about your background and the background facts if it is a matter in respect of which you might need more than just advice.

It is difficult to do this unless we have any relevant paperwork or other evidence so please make sure you bring this with you at the first interview.We then ask you what you want to achieve.

If it is a legal document, such as a will, we will ask all the relevant questions and seek the answers from you that will help us build the document suited to your needs and circumstances.

If is a dispute or problem you want us to help you with, we then take you through the relevant law and the possible outcomes.

Finally, assuming you are interested in proceeding, we discuss with you the value of behind the services we may be asked to provide to you and the cost of that service.

At the conclusion of the interview, assuming we can help you and you want us to proceed, we will ask you to confirm that you wish to do so in writing.

Do you specialise in conveyancing and property law?

Yes, we do.

We have years of conveyancing Adelaide knowledge and experience to ensure the transfer of your valuable asset is a smooth and complete one. We provide comprehensive conveyancing or “land broking” services including:

  • Sale and purchase of land
  • Caveats and workers liens

Why go to a broker or property conveyancer when we are no more expensive?

We also have the expertise to advise you of the legal ramifications of entering what are for most people very significant transactions.

Do you special in estate planning (wills, powers of attorney etc)?

Yes, we do.

You should have a will so that your assets are disposed of the way you wish when you die. In a lot of circumstances having a power of attorney may be advisable as well.

We can assist you in preparing your will and your power of attorney to suit you and to benefit the loved ones you leave behind.

We can also prepare the following important documents for you:

  • Advance care directives
  • Testamentary trusts

Not having a will or power of attorney can result in financial disaster and wasted legal costs.
