Preston Russell Law

Estates, trusts and wills are possibly the most important things you can do in your life to ensure your successors and your business interests are protected. Our people will make sure your family and business interests are looked after.

Our Services

There is much more to looking after your assets than just preparing a will. Preston Russell Law has many years of experience in succession planning, trust structures, asset protection and wealth planning.

If you are concerned about protecting your wealth and assets, then you need to talk to us about setting up a trust.

Trusts are an integral part of succession planning. To ensure your nominated heirs get your assets, a trust and the associated succession planning is vital. A trust is also vital to protect assets from other risks such as litigation or estate duties. We can set up anything from the smallest family trust to trustee companies.

We also specialise in wills. Many people do not realise that a will that is incorrectly executed (such as a 'do it yourself' will) will probably be subject to court action to decide how the estate will be distributed. By using our services, your will is prepared professionally and without any worries.

We can also prepare enduring powers of attorney, administer and manage estates, help with appointment of trustees, and advise on gifting and other issues.
