Wills & Estate Planning
A well-drafted will is the cornerstone of any estate plan. Our Wollongong estate lawyers draft tailored wills that reflect your wishes and are legally valid in New South Wales and nationally.
Simple & Complex Wills
We draft wills for individuals and families of all backgrounds, from straightforward arrangements to complex structures involving multiple assets, blended families, and discretionary trusts.
Testamentary Trusts
A testamentary trust created within your will can provide significant tax benefits and protect assets for beneficiaries such as minor children or family members with disabilities.
Probate & Estate Administration
When a person dies, their estate must be administered according to their will (or, if there is no will, according to the laws of intestacy). Collins Quarters manages the full probate and estate administration process.
Applying for Probate
Probate is the legal process by which the Supreme Court confirms the validity of a will and grants authority to the executor to administer the estate. We prepare and file all probate applications on behalf of executors.
Contested Estates
Where a will is challenged or there are disputes between beneficiaries, Collins Quarters' dispute resolution team can advise on the merits of the claim and represent all parties.
Powers of Attorney & Guardianship
An Enduring Power of Attorney and a medical guardianship appointment are essential documents that ensure your affairs can be managed if you lose capacity.
Enduring Power of Attorney
An Enduring Power of Attorney (EPOA) authorises a trusted person to manage your financial and legal affairs if you lose the capacity to do so yourself.
Medical Treatment Decision Maker
A Medical Treatment Decision Maker (MTDM) appointment authorises a person to make medical decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so.

What happens if I die without a will in Wollongong?+
If you die without a valid will (intestate), your estate will be distributed according to the intestacy laws of New South Wales. This may not reflect your wishes, particularly for blended families, de facto partners, or families with international assets.
What is probate and do I need it in New South Wales?+
Probate is the legal process by which the District Court of NSW and Federal Court confirms the validity of a will and grants authority to the executor to deal with the estate. Probate is generally required when the deceased owned real property in New South Wales or had significant assets.
How do I update my will in Wollongong?+
To update your will, you should execute a new will that expressly revokes all previous wills, or add a codicil (a formal amendment) to your existing will. Collins Quarters recommends reviewing your will whenever there is a significant change in your family or financial circumstances.
Can Collins Quarters help with estate planning if I have assets in India or Malaysia?+
Yes. Collins Quarters specialises in cross-border estate planning for individuals and families with assets in Australia, India, and Malaysia. We advise on the interaction between different succession laws, the use of multiple wills across jurisdictions, and tax-efficient inheritance structures.
