day. We contact you the moment settlement has been completed so that you can pick up the keys and start moving in to your new
property.

We include special conditions to meet your special needs - such as providing a longer time for settlement.
We will communicate with the local council, do the title searches, and for strata properties we will communicate with your strata manager.
Where necessary, we’ll deal with your mortgagee to ensure everything is ready to go for settlement.
Depending on Council turn-around times, your contract can be ready and sent to your agent in as little as a day.
We take care of all the legalities from contract preparation to settlement, leaving you free to get ready to move.
Wills:
If you don’t have a Will, your loved ones may face some very tough decisions at the worst possible time.
How we can help
If you have property or children, you need to have a current Will. Annandale Lawyers can draft a Will especially for you that properly reflects your intentions.
Be wary of do-it-yourself Wills: one silly mistake can make the document almost worthless.
A properly drawn up Will can eliminate many of these problems and gives you control over what happens to your Estate.
Will Disputes
If someone has been left out of a Will, or received a smaller gift than they were expecting, they may decide to oppose the Will.
These disputes can end up as expensive battles in court and result in the breakdown of family relationships.
Annandale Lawyers has considerable experience in resolving disputes over Wills – both in Court and in the negotiation of settlements to avoid expensive litigation.
If you believe you’ve been treated unfairly in a Will, or someone is likely to make a claim on the Estate, contact us to discuss your options.

A Power of Attorney is a document that allows you to appoint another person – your Attorney – to take care of your financial affairs, either for a short, specified time or more permanently.
What we can do to help
Unfortunately, many people reach a time in their lives when they are no longer able to take care of their money matters, often due to ill health.
Planning ahead means that there is another person who can act on your behalf.
It is vitally important that your attorney is someone you can trust completely and who will take their responsibility very seriously.
Enduring Gardians
An enduring guardian is appointed by you to make personal or lifestyle decisions on your behalf if you lose the ability to make these choices for yourself.
Again, it is vital that your guardian is someone who will have only your best interests at heart.
