Trusts & Asset Protection & Estate Planning
Holland Beckett Law provides a comprehensive asset protection and estate planning service for clients.
Both businesses and individuals can find their assets threatened by unexpected changes in circumstances. These changes can cause complex legal issues which could be avoided or minimised through proper asset structuring (for example, the use of family trusts and contracting out agreements/pre-nuptial agreements).
It is also important to consider what happens if you become seriously ill or pass away. If this happens to you and you have not planned properly for the future, decisions about your affairs will be made by someone else - and those decisions may not reflect your wishes.
