CONVEYANCING and COMMERCIAL LEASING
CONVEYANCING - COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL
Buying or selling a residential or commercial property requires a clear understanding of contractual rights and obligations from the time of sale or purchase, through to organising Settlement, including lenders’ requirements, negotiating special terms and conditions, appropriate searches, and Stamp Duty.

COMMERCIAL LEASING
Commercial leases often involve extensive periods of time and large amounts of money in rent and other outgoings. A commercial lease should be in writing, so that both parties know the full details of their rights and responsibilities under the lease. We draft or examine leases to make sure they will safely cover your arrangement into the future.

Divorce; Children's matters; Child Support Matters; Spousal Maintenance; Property Settlements.

POWER OF ATTORNEY, WILLS & ESTATE PLANNING
POWER OF ATTORNEY
An Enduring Powers of Attorney is a vitally important document for anyone over the age of 18 years. Should you become incapable of managing your own affairs through injury or illness, who would you appoint to step in on your behalf and for your benefit, to manage your affairs until such time as you were in a position to resume control? It is important to give careful consideration as to how an Enduring Powers of Attorney should be set up to suit your particular circumstances.

WILLS and ESTATE PLANNING
It is important that everyone over the age of 18 years has a current Will. With extensive experience and knowledge in contemporary estate issues, we are able to give you the best advice and assistance in preparing your Will.
Increasingly, taxation, superannuation issues, and business structures, such as companies and family trusts, impact on how Wills are drafted. Our firm’s association with specialist Taxation and Superannuation lawyers enables us to give detailed and specific advice tailored to your circumstances.
