Practical, tailored advice for protecting what you've built - and ensuring your wishes are carried out exactly as intended.
Wills, Estates & Probate
Planning for the future with clarity and care.
As expert Wills and Estate Lawyers in Melbourne CBD and Doncaster, we understand that planning for the future can be a difficult and sensitive task.
At Cohen Lawyers, we take the time to understand your family and situation, and provide tailored, practical advice for you and those you wish to protect. A Will is a legal document that outlines your wishes for how your assets will be distributed after you pass away, and appoints an executor responsible for carrying out those wishes.
More affordable than surrounding competitors. Fixed fee. No surprises.
What We Cover
What we handle.
Wills
Simple wills, testamentary trust wills, and disability trust wills - drafted to reflect your specific circumstances and protect those who matter most.
Letters of Administration
When there is no valid will, we guide executors and administrators through the Supreme Court process to manage and distribute the estate.
Survivorship Application
Formalising the transfer of jointly held assets - property, bank accounts - following the death of a partner, including the associated tax and financial implications.
Estate Disputes
Part IV Applications and contested estate matters - when a will is unfair, or when circumstances mean it must be challenged.
Powers of Attorney
Financial, Medical, and Guardianship Powers of Attorney - so the right person can act for you if you are unable to act for yourself.
Probate
Obtaining a Grant of Probate and managing executor responsibilities - from securing assets and settling debts through to final distribution.
Our Approach
How we approach your estate.
Step 01
Understand your situation
We take time to understand your family structure, assets, and what matters most to you. Estate planning is only as good as the instructions it's built on.
Step 02
Advise with clarity
Plain-language advice on structures, risks, and options - not technical documents you can't read. You'll leave the consultation knowing exactly what you've decided and why.
Step 03
Draft precisely
Documents that say what you mean, without ambiguity. Precisely drafted wills and powers of attorney reduce the likelihood of dispute after you're gone.
Step 04
Stay available
Circumstances change. We maintain ongoing relationships with estate planning clients, so your documents can be updated as your life evolves - without starting from scratch.
Our People
Patient counsel. Precise documents.
Every wills and estates matter at Cohen Lawyers is handled by a senior practitioner who takes time to understand your circumstances before anything is drafted.
