Your Estate Planning Questions, Answered by Melbourne’s Trusted Experts
Planning your estate is about protecting your future and providing for your loved ones. It ensures that your assets are distributed according to your wishes, avoids unnecessary legal complications, and can even reduce the tax burden on your estate.
Estate planning is not just for the wealthy – it’s essential for anyone who wants to secure their legacy. From wills and trusts to powers of attorney, our Melbourne-based estate planning lawyers are here to help you craft a personalised plan tailored to your unique goals and circumstances.
A well-rounded estate plan goes beyond a simple will. It should reflect your financial situation, family needs, and future goals. Key elements include wills, trusts, enduring powers of attorney, and advanced care directives. Each plays a vital role in ensuring your assets are managed and distributed as intended.
At Pentana Stanton Lawyers, we specialise in creating comprehensive estate plans for Melbourne clients, ensuring your wishes are honoured and your loved ones are provided for in the long term.
Life is constantly changing, and your estate plan should adapt to reflect those changes. Major life events like marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, or significant changes in your financial situation are all reasons to review and update your plan.
Our Melbourne estate planning lawyers recommend reviewing your plan every few years to ensure it continues to align with your goals. We make the process simple and stress-free, so you can stay confident that your future is secure.
How often should I update my estate plan?
You should review your estate plan every few years or after major life events, such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, or significant changes in your financial situation. Our Melbourne team is here to ensure your estate plan stays up to date.
What is the difference between a will and a trust?
A will dictates how your assets are distributed after your passing, while a trust can manage and distribute assets during your lifetime and beyond. Trusts also offer benefits like avoiding probate and providing ongoing financial support for beneficiaries.
Can estate planning help minimise taxes?
Yes, effective estate planning can reduce the tax burden on your estate and beneficiaries. Our lawyers specialise in strategies to optimise tax efficiency, ensuring your loved ones receive the maximum benefit from your estate.
How do I appoint a power of attorney?
A power of attorney is appointed through a legal document that grants someone you trust the authority to manage your financial or medical affairs. We’ll guide you through this process and ensure it meets your needs and complies with Australian laws.
What happens if I die without a will?
If you pass away without a will (intestate), your estate will be distributed according to Victoria’s intestacy laws. This may not align with your wishes and could create challenges for your loved ones. We strongly recommend creating a will to avoid these issues.
How can an estate planning lawyer help me?
An estate planning lawyer provides expert guidance to simplify the process, ensure your documents are legally binding, and protect your legacy. From drafting wills to creating trusts, our Melbourne-based team tailors solutions to your unique circumstances.
How much does estate planning cost?
The cost of estate planning depends on the complexity of your estate, but it’s a worthwhile investment that can save your family from future legal disputes. At Pentana Stanton Lawyers, we offer transparent pricing and customised solutions to fit your needs.
How do I start the estate planning process?
The first step is scheduling a consultation with our Melbourne estate planning lawyers. We’ll help you assess your needs, set clear goals, and create a plan that protects your assets and loved ones.

Testimonials
What our clients are saying
Pentana Stanton Lawyers were absolutely amazing. This was my first legal matter, and I felt very overwhelmed at the start. However, once Ben began working with me, it was clear how much care and effort he put into understanding my perspective. His thoroughness and dedication stood out from the beginning.
Ben was incredibly helpful, staying calm under pressure and sticking to the facts even when challenged by the other party. His professionalism, care, and willingness to play devil’s advocate to prepare me for court made a world of difference. I can’t thank Ben and the team at Pentana Stanton Lawyers enough for their support. A+++++ service – highly recommended!
