Wills & Estate Solicitors: What You Need to Know
Lee, Turnbull & Co Solicitors has provided wills and estate services to Townsville and North Queensland clients from 350 Flinders Street since 1976. Whether you are a Townsville homeowner, a rural landholder across the Burdekin or out to Mount Isa, or a Charters Towers business owner with succession concerns, our experienced solicitors can help you put a plan in place that reflects your wishes and complies with Queensland law.
What Does Wills and Estates Work Cover in Queensland?
Wills and estate planning covers more ground than most people realise. Lee, Turnbull & Co can assist Townsville and North Queensland clients with:
- Preparing and reviewing a valid will that meets the formal requirements of the Succession Act 1981 (Qld).
- Drafting an Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA), authorising a trusted person to make financial and personal decisions on your behalf if you lose capacity.
- Applying for a grant of probate through the Supreme Court of Queensland, commonly required by banks, superannuation funds, and property registries before they release or transfer assets.
- Obtaining letters of administration where there is no valid will or no executor willing and able to act.
- Managing estate administration, including collecting assets, paying debts, and distributing the estate to beneficiaries.
Cost Transparency and Why It Matters
Legal costs vary depending on the complexity of your estate, your family circumstances, and whether probate or an EPA is also required. Lee, Turnbull & Co provides straightforward cost estimates so Townsville clients can make informed decisions from the outset. Contact the firm early to discuss your situation and obtain a fee indication before work begins.
Our solicitors, including Heath Connolly and Rebecca Hudson, practise in wills, estate planning, and estate administration. The firm is a member of the Queensland Law Society and the North Queensland Law Association.
