WILLS & ESTATES

A Power of Attorney appoints someone to make financial decisions on your behalf. An Enduring Guardian is a person or persons that you appoint to make decisions about your health and lifestyle in the event that you are unable to make those decisions yourself.

Whether you are 25 or 85 years old, your Will is one of the most important legal tools you have. It is a legally binding document that stipulates how your assets should be distributed in the event of your death.

At Uther Webster & Evans we have experienced solicitors who can assist you with your succession and estate planning, incorporating the preparation of a Will, Power of Attorney and appointment of an Enduring Guardian.

After a person’s death and in circumstances where a valid Will has been made by that person, it is usually necessary for the Executor of the deceased to apply to the Supreme Court of NSW for a Grant of Probate.
