Legal Advice to Secure Your Legacy and to Safeguard the People You Care About

Business-orientated individuals handle their personal affairs with the same care as their business affairs. Handling our clients' personal and family legal affairs is a natural extension of our relationship with them. When you've worked hard to build a legacy, it's logical to take steps to protect it. Achieving the high level of protection you're looking for will take careful and comprehensive thinking. Your succession plan will have multiple parts, so securing the people and things you care about requires considering the interaction of all the parts as well as every possible future scenario. This will include taking action when you enter into a new personal relationship. A prenuptial agreement or pre-nup (in Australia called a Binding Financial Agreement or BFA), is an effective tool when properly drafted and executed to protect your personal family estate.

A prenup is especially important when you are entering into a new relationship in circumstances where you have children from a prior relationship. Your Vobis family and estate lawyer's focus is first on understanding exactly what you want the situation to be. Then we will advise on the structure that will best protect you and those you care about. In preparing your estate plan or prenuptial agreement, we'll lay it out in a way that offers you the clarity and certainty that's essential to everyone's wellbeing when it comes to personal and family affairs.

DEPTH OF THOUGHT

Your affairs are not generic, let alone identical to anyone else’s affairs. Taking shortcuts with a templated approach would not provide security; it would introduce additional risks. No template could comprehensively and accurately reflect your circumstances or those of the other people to be considered in the arrangements.

ESTATE PLANNING AND WRITING YOUR WILL

Your will and estate plan are assets that ensures you pass on the benefits you intend to those you care about most. Your Vobis estate lawyer will advise on an estate plan and a will that preserve your assets and pass them to the intended beneficiaries. A pre-nup can have a direct impact on what is and is not in your estate.

POWER OF ATTORNEY

A well-drafted power of attorney is essential to protecting you and your assets in your lifetime. While you would only ever hand that control to someone you trust, you should be certain you have given clear and enforceable instructions on how they are to make decisions.

ENDURING GUARDIANSHIP

Even if you become incapacitated, you should not be powerless. An enduring guardianship is something you can put in place today to make sure your personal and healthcare decisions can only ever be made according to your wishes.
