Tony & Wendy, ACT
We are specialists in estate taxation, which is a complex area and requires professional advice to ensure that estate assets are protected and not unnecessarily taxed and executors are not held personally liable for mistakes.
We can either provide this specialist advice to help you navigate your way through the taxation obligations or manage the whole process for you.
We also work with executors, other dependents, and beneficiaries, to make the process less difficult during an already challenging time.
Estate planning is far more than just having an up-to-date will. It specifies how your assets will be distributed, protects beneficiaries, and ensures your final wishes are observed.
