Drawing on in-depth knowledge, with a client focused approach, we stand apart for our professionalism and genuine care for the people we serve throughout Queensland.
Estate Planning & Entity Structuring
We help clients develop estate planning solutions tailored to their unique needs. From the preparation of simple wills, enduring powers of attorney, and advance health directives, through to sophisticated arrangements involving testamentary discretionary trusts, family trusts, and corporate trustees. We ensure your intentions are documented, and your loved ones are protected.
Guardianship & Financial Administration
Offering expert legal advice in the guardianship and financial administration space, we assist families with appointments of substitute decision-makers, challenging or removing unsuitable attorneys, and assisting with declarations of capacity in the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal.
Estate Administration
Acting with efficiency and sensitivity, we support executors and administrators through all stages of estate administration. This includes assistance with both straightforward and complex grants of probate, as well as obtaining letters of administration for deceased estates of all sizes and complexities, including reseals and international grants.
Independent Administration
Where estate administration is contested or complex, our Legal Practitioner Director, Chelsea Baker is appointed by the Supreme Court of Queensland as an Independent Administrator. Her appointment provides neutral administration where disputes have arisen, and ensures the estate can continue to be administered for the benefit of all parties.
Estate Litigation
Baker Hastings Lawyers provides legal representation for clients in post-death estate disputes, including making or defending applications for further provision, challenging the validity of wills, or investigating the conduct and management of legal personal representatives.
