Getting your affairs in order matters more than most people realise
Most people don't have a current will. Some have one that no longer reflects their wishes. Others have a will that would leave their family in a difficult position — without knowing it.
A will is not just a document. It is the instruction set for everything you have built. Without one, Queensland's succession laws decide how your estate is distributed. That may not be what you intended.
Estate litigation is also rising. Families are disputing wills more than ever, and the legal costs can be significant. The best protection against that outcome is proper advice, taken before a problem arises. Book an appointment today.
Estate litigation is on the rise. Families are fighting more than ever over estates.
Estate advice backed by real litigation experience
Cohen Legal is a litigation firm. That distinction matters when it comes to wills and estate planning.
Most estate lawyers draft documents. We also know what happens when those documents are disputed. We understand what courts look for, where wills fail, and how families end up in conflict over estates that were never properly structured. That experience shapes every document we prepare and every piece of advice we give.
Principal Samantha Cohen is Chair of the Queensland Law Society Construction and Infrastructure Committee and a member of the QLS Litigation Rules Committee. She is a former President of both the Townsville District Law Association and the North Queensland Law Association. She brings the same clarity and commercial realism to estate planning that she applies to complex litigation.
Our advice is direct. If your current will has gaps, or your estate is structured in a way that creates risk, we will tell you.
