+ Trusts and wills

Wills – For both your sake and your family’s, it’s important to have a will to ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes when you die. We’ll help you make (or update) a will so that people you trust are appointed as executors of your estate, and your spouse, children and grandchildren are provided for.

Family Trusts – We’ll help you consider the benefits of establishing a family trust, for example to protect your assets or relationship property. If you decide to form a trust, we’ll draft and prepare the necessary documentation.

+ Powers of Attorney

Rosemary can assist with setting up an EPA that gives control to a nominated person over your affairs if you are unable to act for yourself. Without an EPA, your next of kin will have to go to court to obtain welfare and property orders.

+ Residential conveyancing

Buying and Selling Property – We fully understand the legal implications of buying and selling property. These often extend far beyond the actual sale or purchase, to your family, relationships, and financial circumstances. We can advise you about these broader related aspects, including making or updating your will, setting up a trust, and taxation implications.

Rosemary can assist with all aspects of buying and selling property. This includes ensuring your wills are up to date or put in place if you do not have one; drafting relationship property agreements; subdividing and developing property; retirement village purchase; and mortgage refinancing.

Rosemary can also provide assistance to landlords and tenants on their rights and obligations under the Residential Tenancies Act such as rent reviews, lease renewals, maintenance, repair and reinstatement obligations, and remedies for breach of lease.

If you are purchasing a property, we highly recommend getting in touch with us as early in the process as possible. We recommend always reviewing the property title for any potential concerns, which we can assist with.
