A home is the largest purchase most of us will make in our lives.

Our lawyers and support staff are fully qualified to look after your needs in:

Most people have probably heard the saying "nothing is certain, except death and taxes." According to another familiar adage, we should face life’s unpleasant certainties with grace and good humor. While we consider this to be good advice, we also believe that an equally important part of effectively dealing with the future is to do prudent and wise planning. Of course, no amount of planning can prevent the inevitable. However, some consequences can be managed, and there are a number of things you can do to protect your loved ones. The simple act of preparing a will can help ensure that your family will be looked after according to your wishes, rather than according to the dictates of the law or court. We can provide you with a full range of estate planning services. In particular, our lawyers can assist and advise you on:
- drawing up a will
- granting a power of attorney
- setting up a family trust
- establishing a private or charitable foundation
- appointing a guardian, an executor or a trustee
- assessing the tax implications of an estate or succession plan
- probating a will
- administering an estate, a trust, or a foundation
- settling, and if needed, litigating the disposition of an estate
- resolving intestacies
At Lim & Company Lawyers, the goal of our family law practice is to provide advice and advocacy on relationship issues in a manner which serves the best legal interests of our clients, and is duly respectful of their sensitivities. Whether you are just starting out, or hoping to make a fresh start, you can leave the legal aspects to us. But (and here’s some free non-legal advice) you’ll still have to deal on your own with the most difficult part of making any relationship work, by giving it the right nurturing and the proper care.
