Succession Legal

On a cool Autumn morning, flowers from a client to say Thank You on settlement of their property is enough to warm the soul 🩷

We love our clients and we love what we do. Selling a property can either be a happy or sad time and we feel privileged to be asked to help in this process and even more privileged when we receive positive feedback.

"Thank you for all great work and care on this - I can honestly say the best conveyancing experience I’ve had over a number of properties, we’re really grateful to you!"

Our Conveyancing Clerk can be contacted on 5223 2333

Every member of our team plays a super important role in how we operate and service our clients. Today Renee Doyle, our super receptionist and admin support, received some beautiful flowers as a Thank You for going the extra mile ❤️

Conveyancing might seem trivial to some, but it is a privilege to assist people buying their first home, selling their first home to buy something bigger or selling the family home after mum and dad have passed.

Feedback like we received today made a difficult Friday afternoon settlement, even more worth while:

"I would love to send a bunch of gratitude for your service, I have been lending for 10+ years and you were quite easily the easiest conveyancer I have ever dealt with!"

We totally sleighed the Christmas Decorations this year!

Flowers for the boss!!! Such a lovely surprise!

This year has had its share of surprises but with such an amazing team l can’t wait to see what the new year has install.

The Christmas rush sure is here.
Everyone is busy selling their properties or buying before Christmas.

A New Year and a great reminder to get our Life Admin in order. If you have not reviewed your Superannuation Binding Death Nomination, time to put it on your new year resolution list!

Why can’t we leave our superannuation to our parents? When a friend died last year and her abusive boyfriend claimed her super despite her family’s objections, we all realised the system isn’t looking out for us.

At Succession Legal we work closely with many families that have lost a loved one. As this year draws to a close and we shut the office for a much needed break, mother nature reminds us that although our loved ones may no longer be with us, they are always watching. A rainbow after a storm.

A safe and merry holiday period and remember, always be kind to yourself.

See you in 2023 with some exciting changes...........................................

This news article is just one example as to why it is always better to sit down with your solicitor to make your Will.

Newlywed widow loses $1.1m will battle A Queensland widow who married her late husband two days before he died has lost a bid to be named sole beneficiary of his $1.1 million estate, even though he had “very limited contact” with his adult children from a previous marriage.

Have you ever wondered why solicitors like to sit down with you face to face to talk about your Estate Planning?

Well it's so we can determine what assets are yours and what assets perhaps are 'controlled' in another way. Not all 'assets' you have will form part of your Will and it is important you understand what we can do with each bucket.

We are very excited to launch our new website! It has lots of information and resources so be sure to head to

Would your loved ones know what assets and liabilities you had if you passed suddenly?

At Succession Legal we encourage all our clients to create a 'Tragedy Box'. To assist is this process we have also created our Tragedy Box Information booklet that will now be given to all our clients at their first appointment.

A really important part of any Estate Plan. A free service with Barwon Health.

It's - a timely reminder that we all need to consider the big decisions about our own healthcare. In the Geelong Advertiser this week, our advance care planning facilitator Kirsty Yates wrote about her experiences in the field and the importance of having these tough conversations with loved ones.

A beautiful way to start a Friday morning here in Hope Street. ❤️

We have been working really hard behind the scenes to deliver some information sheets that our clients can read in their own time and become more informed around the complexities of estate planning. We are soooo excited to receive delivery of our first one.

At Succession Legal we love what we do but it is always nice when we receive a special thank you ❤️

It's now easier to call Succession Legal.
