Specialists in Wills and Estates

Over the last 10 years, the team at TB Law has specialised in Wills and Estates Law.

Principal Solicitor, Manny Wood says “By specialising in Wills and Estates, we can focus our attention on providing legal services in which our solicitors and team of support staff are confident and familiar with providing.”

“Because we are well-versed in the field we are also very efficient, which allows us to keep the legal costs down and the turnaround times quick”.

“We recommend  going to a firm that specialises in the service you seek. There are serious consequences if the job is not performed properly. Our legal costs are similar to other firms and often less, yet I am confident that our service is first class.”

Estate Planning

“These days, with the size of estates growing, particularly due to increases in the value of real estate, drafting a ‘simple’ will for a client is often no longer appropriate and is really doing a disservice to the beneficiaries. There are substantial benefits to having wills properly drafted to effectively deal with tax, the potential break-down of relationships and the issues that can arise in blended families. It is really now a specialist field.”

“Superannuation, particularly SMSF’s must also be addressed properly.”

“At TB Law, we ensure that a second solicitor checks estate planning documentation before it is placed into safe custody. This is essential to quality control.”

“We often see problems with wills prepared by other law firms. They often contain mistakes. They are often difficult to understand. They often create unnecessary headaches for executors and beneficiaries. Even relatively simple Powers of Attorney are sometimes not properly thought through.”

Beyond Planning

“When it comes to obtaining probate and the administration of estates, TB Law has streamlined the process so that our clients are properly protected, that our clients are kept informed throughout the process and that the estate is finalized as soon as possible”.

“Our experienced conveyancers also allow the sale of estate property to happen efficiently, all under the same roof.”

“If you are involved in a will challenge, we have the experience to negotiate a fair outcome and provide honest and practical advice with a view to settling a dispute without resort to litigation.”

Manny Wood obtained his Master of Law in Wills and Estates in 2013 and won the prize for the best graduating student. He obtained Specialist Accreditation in 2015. There are only around 70 accredited specialists in wills and estates in NSW. There are around 40,000 solicitors.

Manny publishes the popular “Hypothetical” weekly column.
