Last week, I met with a client in Sydney’s Inner West who illustrated this perfectly. She and her partner have teenage children, own a home in Sydney, and an investment property on the Central Coast. They’d had their Wills drafted by the NSW Trustee and Guardian 14 years ago after their first child was born. Now, with more assets and different circumstances, their Wills hadn’t kept up with their life. 

This story highlights how essential it is to work with experienced estate planning lawyers who understand the unique needs of individuals and families in Central Coast, Sydney’s Inner West, Sydney CBD, Inner Sydney, and Sydney’s Lower North Shore. At our law firm in NSW, we specialise in creating bespoke estate planning solutions to secure your legacy. 

The Hidden Costs of Using the NSW Trustee and Guardian 

While the NSW Trustee and Guardian offers Wills for a lower upfront fee, the long-term costs can be much higher. Hidden charges for estate management, account-keeping, and property transfers can quickly erode the value of your estate. 

Our estate planning solicitors in Sydney CBD, Inner Sydney, and the Central Coast create cost-effective plans that avoid these pitfalls, keeping your estate intact for your loved ones. 

Why Timely Updates Matter 

Estate planning isn’t a “set and forget” process. Major life changes—whether you’ve purchased a new property in Sydney’s Inner West, expanded your investments to the Central Coast, or grown your family—require updates to your estate plan. 

Our estate planning attorneys offer tailored solutions for all stages of life, ensuring your Will stays relevant as your circumstances change. 

Efficient Administration and Communication 

Delays and lack of transparency are common issues with the NSW Trustee and Guardian. Our experienced estate administration lawyers in Sydney and the Central Coast ensure your estate is handled efficiently, and we keep your family informed every step of the way.
