Wills

Creating a comprehensive & legally valid will is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your loved ones & ensure your wishes are carried out after your death.

Estate Planning for Blended Families

Blended families have unique considerations when planning an estate. Our lawyers ensure fair distribution of assets, protecting your loved ones & minimising the risk of disputes between children, stepchildren & spouses.

Testamentary Trusts

A testamentary trust is a trust established in your will to manage and distribute your assets after your death. It offers tax benefits, asset protection & flexibility for beneficiaries.

Special Disability Trusts

Special Disability Trusts provide financial support for people with severe disabilities while allowing families to protect their eligibility for government benefits.

Family Trust

A family trust is a discretionary trust designed to manage and protect family wealth, offering tax planning advantages & asset protection for future generations.

Protective Trust

Protective trusts are designed to protect vulnerable beneficiaries, such as those with mental illness or addiction, by controlling how & when assets are distributed.

Powers of Attorney

A Power of Attorney appoints someone you trust to manage your financial & legal affairs if you become unable to do so yourself.

Appointment of Enduring Guardian

An Enduring Guardian makes health & lifestyle decisions on your behalf if you lose capacity, ensuring your wishes are respected.

Life Interest & Right of Residence

These arrangements allow a person to live in a property or benefit from its use during their lifetime, while ownership passes to another beneficiary upon their death.

International Assets

Owning assets overseas adds complexity to estate planning and administration. At Foye Legal, we assist clients in navigating international legal systems, ensuring your global assets are protected and distributed in accordance with your wishes while complying with differing laws across jurisdictions.

Business Succession

Business succession planning ensures the smooth transition of your business to new owners or family members while protecting its value & legacy.

Self Managed Super Fund (SMSF)

An SMSF allows you to manage your own superannuation investments, but it requires careful planning to ensure compliance with regulations and to maximise benefits for your beneficiaries.

Grant of Probate

Probate is a legal process that validates a will and authorises the executor to distribute the deceased’s estate according to their wishes.

Grant of Letters of Administration

If someone dies without a will, Letters of Administration allow a court-appointed administrator to manage and distribute the estate in line with legal requirements.

Disputes over wills and estates can arise from unclear instructions or perceived unfairness. Our lawyers specialise in resolving conflicts to protect your rights and ensure fair outcomes.
