Last week, Jacinta Watkins and Jessica Bristow from ALA Law headed to the Blue Mountains Law Society 2026 Succession Conference, proudly flying the flags for Estates with Compassion and LawManage as sponsors of this year’s event.
It was an especially exciting few days for Estates with Compassion, with Jacinta finally having the opportunity to introduce the framework to the succession law community and start some fantastic conversations about compassionate and collaborative practice, early conflict identification and what it could look like to put people more firmly at the centre of the way we practise.
Jacinta also joined MaryAnn de Mestre, Marie Brownell and Darryl Browne for their workshop, Power, Guardianship and Control: Navigating the Law and Practice of Enduring Powers - with a little role-playing thrown in to keep everyone on their toes!
A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by the stand, asked questions, shared ideas and showed such genuine enthusiasm for what we’re building. We even received our first Founding Member expressions of interest during the conference!
And now, we’d love to open that conversation to the wider Wills and Estates community.
We’re inviting expressions of interest from Founding Members and Content Specialists who would like to be involved in shaping Estates with Compassion from the beginning - sharing ideas, experience and expertise as we explore how education, resources, professional connection and collaboration can better support practitioners and the families they serve.

This is only the beginning, and we’re very excited to see where the community helps us take it.
