Wills, Probate & Estate Administration
Experience you can trust
We can attend to all of your estate planning, and estate administration needs and will not only provide you with legal advice and documents, but will ensure that the solution provided to you is practical, commercial and cost-effective.
Before suggesting solutions we take the time to understand what is important to you. We want to understand your family dynamics. We enquire how assets are held and explain how the law deals with them. We will support you through the process and make it as easy as possible for you. We will be focused on explaining documents, structures and processes with minimal ‘legal jargon’.
We can work collaboratively with your advisors or introduce you to our professional network which includes accountants, bankers, financial advisers, insurance specialists, valuers, stockbrokers, property experts, auctioneers and a relocation specialist. If we don't believe we can meet your needs in an area of law outside our sphere of expertise we will endeavour to find the right lawyer for you.
Funnell Legal is a modern firm, with traditional values, using technology to assist it in making its services more accessible and affordable. As part of our flexible, personalised approach, we are happy to meet with you at our office, your advisor’s office or if you prefer your home, your business or by skype - whichever is most suitable and convenient to you.
