If estate planning were fashion, testamentary trusts would be having their catwalk moment ...and unlike most trends, this one has good reason behind it.

Long valued as a sophisticated estate planning tool, testamentary trusts are back in focus following proposed changes in the 2026-27 Federal Budget. From 1 July 2028, certain discretionary trusts may be subject to a proposed 30% minimum tax.
Testamentary trusts, however, are proposed to be ✨exempt. ✨

More than a trend, they can offer valuable asset protection and tax advantages, particularly when planning for children and future generations.

How lucky are we! 🤍🌈

Today we were visited by some of the wonderful children from Catherine Campbell Centre as part of 'B kinder day' for The b kinder foundation . Our team was spoilt with beautiful artwork, sweet treats and coffee, but more importantly, we were reminded of the power of kindness.

As Helen Keller said, "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much."

It takes a community to raise amazing adults, and it all starts with nurturing incredible children. A huge thank you to the educators across our community who work every day to foster empathy, compassion and kindness in the next generation. We have great faith in the future when we see young people making such a positive difference in their community, even at 3-5 years of age.

✨Kindness has the power to change the world, one small act at a time. ✨

A question we are often asked during one of life's most difficult times is, "What happens next?" While the focus should be on grieving and supporting one another, understanding the process ahead can provide some reassurance.

Succession Planning for Farming Families🌱

While we are finally getting a light sprinkle of rain across parts of the region, it feels like a good reminder that planning, much like farming itself, works best when it starts early, is revisited over time and is built with the long term in mind.

YES. Absolutely. ChatGPT can draft your legal documents. Honestly, it can draft almost anything.

✨BUT.✨

We will not execute them, we will not store them, and there is a fair chance many firms will not want to untangle the mess later if things go wrong. We only have so much capacity for complex estate disputes and the ones caused by unclear DIY documents are not our favourites to take on.

Yes, AI can draft your will. But it probably won't:
📜properly understand your family dynamics
📜protect your estate from future disputes
📜clearly reflect your intentions
📜or anticipate the issues that actually cause litigation later

Australian courts are already seeing growing disputes involving AI drafted wills, online 10 minute wills or will kits where families are left arguing about what someone really meant.

A will is an investment. It is the document that speaks for you when you no longer can. Use us or use another law firm. But please use a professional.

Because once adult siblings start arguing over “what Dad would have really wanted” in a waiting room, things have usually gone very wrong (and it becomes super awkward for us!).
