Sadly not all families are happy families. Family issues such as divorce, property settlement and matters involving children can be emotionally draining and confusing. The team at Terese Wacyk Legal will help guide you through and advise best options during these testing times.
Whether you are looking to protect your assets and need advice on your rights when separating relationship property when a relationship ends, we have the experience to help ensure your rights, entitlements and assets are protected.
Whether you are ending a marriage, civil union or a defacto relationship, it is extremely important for you to meet all the legal requirements to finalise the separation of property as soon as possible. Otherwise your ex-partner may be able to make claims on future earnings and assets you acquire in the future, or make a claim against your estate should you pass away. As divorce and separation experts, we can assist you with simple divisions of property through to complex relationship property divisions involving family trusts, family businesses and family farms. As skilled negotiators who are experts in family law (and the Court’s interpretation of family laws) we will help you achieve the best possible outcome so that you can move on with your life. As part of a full service firm we can advise you on and finalise all aspects of the process, including completing the conveyancing to sell or transfer property (and if you purchase new property), winding up family trusts and establishing new family trusts, drafting a new will and new enduring powers of attorney.
Terese Wacyk Legal understands the importance of wanting to protect your assets and those of your family. Whether you simply require a will or powers of attorney drafted, or are in need of in depth estate planning, our extensive experience with wills, powers of attorney, family trusts and estates enables us to provide you with the right advice for your particular situation.
We will take the time to explain everything involved in plain language so that you have the right plan in place to protect your assets, reduce stress on your family and minimise the chances of future disputes which may divide your family after your passing.
This traverses areas as follows:
Estate planning is the process of developing a plan to protect and manage your assets while you are alive and after your death. There are multiple legal options available to develop the planning of your estate and it is important we discuss your assets in detail and your potential liabilities to develop a robust estate plan that is designed to suit your very particular requirements. Your estate plan may be as simple as a well drafted will, or it may extend to trusts and relationship property agreements designed to protect your assets.
We will provide your business with the advice and support that gives you and your management team the confidence and freedom to concentrate on the daily running and success of your business.
Our goal is to make the complex simple. We believe that businesses should not be hindered by dealing with complicated legal issues. We are here to anticipate the "pain points" and provide you their inability to alter your business in any way so that you can focus on doing what you do best: i.e running your business.
We will give you pragmatic advice and work with you to achieve your goals, without putting roadblocks in your way. We speak your language and will make sure that you understand any legal or contractual obligation without the complicated jargon.
Whether you are at the start of your business journey and need support setting up for success or you are going strong and need some guidance navigating the complex corporate landscape, or you are at the end of the business journey and looking to sell, our commercial law advisors will be tailored accordingly.
