Brook Legal & Settlement Services

Wills & Probates

Putting your affairs in order is very important - it could save your loved ones from costly and time-consuming legal applications, and will help to ensure that your wishes are carried out.

At Brook Legal, we have years of experience in drafting and amending wills, obtaining grants of probate and handling inheritance claims.

We have a 7 day turn around for will documentation, with an initial client interview conducted in order to identify your needs and wishes. Will documentation is usually produced within 2 days of the initial consultation and sent to you for your approval. Within 7 days, you will return for a second appointment, where the document is fully explained, reviewed and executed by you.

Secure electronic copies of your documents are retained by Brook Legal to facilitate rapid updating, replacement or amendment.

We can assist with applications to the Supreme Court to obtain a grant of probate for executors and letters of administration which bestow rights of administration if a loved one dies without leaving a will. These procedures, as well as implementing joint tenancy, survivorship and inheritance claims, are often essential to rightful distribution of assets.

To discuss these procedures, make an appointment with Brook Legal today.
