Conveyancing
Conveyancing of residential property in New South Wales is done electronically. GlobalX Legal are our trusted PEXA agents.
Buying a property
We can review a Contract before you sign. It’s important that you are informed about any special conditions and aware of any land tax owing. A cooling-off period allows you to make further enquiries. Make sure you know what you’re signing.
Selling a property
We can prepare a Contract for you. Tell us if you need an early release of deposit. The property market is hot right now and a lot of sellers need to buy at the same time. Let us know if you need extra time you to settle. Buyers can be flexible with dates.
Criminal Law
If you’ve received a Court Attendance Notice (CAN) you’ll need to talk to us before the court date. We can prepare your case and represent you at court.
It’s ill advised to be unrepresented or self-represented in court. To do so may cause you a disservice.
In defended matters, when you plead not guilty, you should be represented to properly test the evidence. If you intend to plead guilty, talk to us to ensure that your plea entitles you to a discount on sentencing.
Call or email us to discuss your case in confidence.
Claims
Are owed money? To recover it, you may need write a letter of demand or file a statement of claim in the Local Court. If you’ve received a letter of demand you should contact us about it. If you’ve been served with a statement of claim, you may need to file a defence before a judgment is entered against you. Don’t leave it until it’s too late. Call or email us and we’ll help you sort it out.
Quite often disputes can easily be resolved simply by communicating with the other party. It may be better to settle a matter than to go to court and be handed an adverse finding with an order for costs.
Wills
Making a Will is the only way you can ensure that when you die, your estate will be distributed according to your wishes. Generally, to make a valid Will you need to be over 18, of sound mind, memory, and understanding. The Will needs to be in writing and the person making the Will (testator) needs to sign it in front of two witnesses who are over 18. The witnesses cannot be beneficiaries.
Please call or email us if you want to make a Will.
Probate
A Grant of Probate from the Supreme Court of New South Wales is required before the assets in a Will can be distributed. Are you an executor or a beneficiary under a Will and aren’t sure what to do next? We can file an application for a Grant of Probate for you. Call or email us and we’ll explain the next steps.
Letters of Administration
A grant of Letters of Administration is a legal document issued by the Court, which allows the administrator(s) to manage and distribute the deceased’s assets. There are two distinct types of applications for Letters of Administration:
- Letters of Administration – the deceased died without leaving a will ( died intestate)
- Letters of Administration with the Will annexed – the deceased left a Will but there is no executor available to apply for a grant of probate. Applying for Letters of Administration can be a complex process.
Applying for Letters of Administration can be a complex process. We can apply on your behalf. Call or email us to find out more.
