Wills & Estates

Colquhoun Murphy have been taking instructions for Wills, probate and powers of attorney for over 30 years.

A Will is one of the most important legal documents for individuals, and must accommodate the specific needs and intentions of the testator. Not only do Wills need to be properly drafted and properly signed and witnessed, they need to be strategic. We can provide you with the necessary advice to ensure that all of your estate planning concerns are dealt with in your Will.

We have experience in disputes over Wills and, in particular, have been involved in Family Provisions Act matters and have assisted executors who are defending claims made upon a deceased estate by relatives or spouses.

A properly drafted power of attorney ensures reliability and certainty so far as financial and personal decision making is concerned. We assist business clients who require a local ‘attorney’ to act on their behalf when they are not able to, and also service individuals who want to ensure that if something were to happen to them a trusted relative will make decisions according to their wishes.

We are also able to help clients with matters relating to superannuation and provide referrals to leading superannuation service providers where necessary.
