Estate planning is important. That doesn’t mean the process has to be intimidating, confusing, or take over your life.

If you’re a mum who wants to put the right protections in place for your children, you don’t need to have all the answers before you get started.

That’s our job.

When you work with us, we guide you through the process, answer your questions, and help you understand the options available to you.

Our consultations are online, so you can meet with us from wherever life happens to have you that day, whether that’s home, work, or the sidelines of your kids’ sport.

You can book your consultation online at a time that suits you, and we'll take it from there.

Because getting high-quality legal advice and an estate plan designed around your family shouldn't mean jumping through hoops to make it happen.

Anyone else's highschool constantly remind them of their "past success stories"? Ours were Sarah Harris (Sarah Harris) and Andrew Lofthouse (Andrew Lofthouse).

Honourable mention to Keith Urban (Keith Urban) who I imagine is now most name dropped by all Caboolture SHS teachers when they want to motivate/inspire...

They had Wills. They had superannuation nominations. They had life insurance.

What they didn't have was one overall estate strategy bringing it all together.

Emma and Michael came to us with two children, a family home worth approximately $1.5 million, investment assets of around $300,000, and combined superannuation and life insurance of approximately $2.2 million.

They had already taken steps to protect their family.

The issue was that those arrangements had been made separately, without considering how everything would work together if one or both of them died.

For these clients, the question was bigger than what their Will said.

We needed to consider:
• what would happen to their superannuation
• how their life insurance would be dealt with
• which assets were controlled by their Wills
• how their children would ultimately benefit
• who would be responsible for managing their estate
• how the plan would operate following the first death and the second death

We reviewed their estate plan as a whole and made recommendations to bring those different arrangements together.

The result was a clear strategy for their family and their growing wealth.

Having a Will and making a superannuation nomination are important steps.

Your estate plan needs to consider how all of your arrangements work together and whether they produce the outcome you intend.

Imagine going away for a month and your family and kids couldn’t contact you. Would you leave a plan behind and want to decide who cares for your kids?

You’d want to make sure they had everything they needed, right? You’d leave instructions about their routines, their school, their medical needs, the things that comfort them. You’d probably leave special things behind for the kids, too.

You’d make sure the people caring for your kids knew what mattered to you. You’d prepare.

Now imagine that wasn’t a month. Imagine you weren’t coming back.

If you don’t have an estate plan, your family can be left without the information, authority, and directions they need when you die.

Your Will is part of that plan. So are the arrangements for your superannuation, your guardianship wishes, and your directions and guidance for the people who may suddenly have to step into your shoes.

Estate planning is one of the ways you can keep caring for your kids, even when you can’t be there to do it yourself.

“We know we need to do our Wills. We just haven’t got around to it.”

Life is busy. There are kids, work, school drop-offs, dinner, activities, and approximately 847 other things competing for your attention.

And sometimes estate planning just never makes it to the top of the to do list.

These clients were parents that knew they needed to sort their estate planning to protect their kids but had been putting it off.

They knew it was important, but the process felt overwhelming.

We worked through their circumstances, talked through their options, and put the right documents in place for their family.

We’ve been told over and over about the relief and peace of mind that comes from knowing everything is in place.

In the words of these clients:
“It is such a relief knowing our kids will be looked after if something happens to us.”

That’s the feeling we want every parent to have when they finish their estate planning.

Knowing what’s in place. Knowing why it’s in place. Knowing your family has a plan if something happens to you.

If you’ve been putting your Will off because you don’t know where to start, you’re very much not alone.

You can start with one conversation 💜

My estate plan non-negotiables as a mum + lawyer.

As a mum with two young children, I want the peace of mind knowing that I’ve done everything I possibly can to protect their future. To me, this means both their financial security and their emotional + mental health.

The things I wouldn’t leave my family without include…

A Will with guardian nominations
I’ve clearly expressed who I would want to care for my boys. People that I trust to parent my kids and follow my directions. Plus I’ve included backups to cover all bases.

A Letter of Wishes
No one will parent my boys exactly like me. No one know all my hopes and priorities for their future. I’ve recorded my guidance and directions for parenting decisions, their individual needs, and my expectations for managing their inheritance.

Letters of Love
I want my boys to have a connection to me and my love, always. I’ve written letters to be read immediately after my death and on milestones I might miss. Birthdays, graduations, weddings, becoming parents themselves. A little piece of me they can keep and come back to.

An overall and complete strategy
My estate plan sits alongside our financial plan. We’ve worked with our financial planner to make sure we have an appropriate level of life insurance in place to cover each other if one of us dies or to set up the boys’ financial future if both of us dies.

I don’t know what the future holds.
I do know I’ve given my family as much guidance, protection, and connection as I can while I’m here.

If you’re a parent, save this as your reminder to review your estate plan 💜

Over a decade as a lawyer and I’ve heard a lot of family stories.

Family can be complicated. There can be estranged relationships, blended families, different views on money, old hurts, difficult decisions, and worries about what the future might look like.

It’s all “normal”…whatever normal is meant to mean when it comes to our personal lives.

There’s no need to compare your family to anyone else’s.

Your estate plan should be built around your people, your circumstances, and the legacy you want to leave behind.

It’s tempting to look at other families and wonder what they’ve got going on.

The best place to look is much closer to home 💜
