Estate planning and
estate administration
that takes care of
the living

Not many people put death and dying on the top of their list of fun things to do.

The reality is death comes to all of us, and having honest and sometimes difficult conversations about what life looks like after you die will give you the peace of mind to get on with living.

At Your Estate Lawyer we give you the confidence and security of knowing you have everything in place to look after the people who are important to you, when you're no longer able to.

If you're looking to write a will that holds up after you die, or administer the estate of a loved one with care and compassion, I promise to make it a life-changing experience.

ESTATE PLANNING

Estate planning is a unique opportunity to avoid avoidable problems by reality-testing what it will actually look like for your family when you die.

ESTATE ADMINISTRATION
after death care with heart

Being the executor of a deceased can feel overwhelming, confusing, and time-consuming - all whilst having to navigate new legal and emotional territory. We'll work with you to apply for probate (if required), communicate with beneficiaries, assist with asset distribution and manage all the tiny never ending jobs that come with a deceased estate.

I would absolutely recommend Your Estate Lawyer. Fiona is amazing, responsive, genuine, compassionate, empathetic...

Fiona made the process of dealing with my dad's unexpected death, that had been feeling dark and scary, doable and managable. She became the light at the end of the tunnel.

Fiona met mum and I in a cafe which is where mum felt most comfortable. There was no need to be nervous as it was really just like we were chatting with a friend. There was no legalese - everything discussed was in a way we could understand. The fix quote also put our minds at rest.

Thank you Fiona for not only providing such an amazing service but also for how supportive you have been during these months.

A Safe Place.

I know the best conversations happen around the kitchen table with a cup of tea - not across the desk in a lawyer's office, which is why I've created a space in the heart of Hahndorf that's cosy, safe, and just like home.

Appointments can be held in your own home for an additional fee.

I Care. A lot.

Death deserves more than asking you to fill in a form, ticking off a list or having a quick conversation about what you 'think' you want.

I take the time to get to know you, find out what's important, ask the hard questions, and challenge your thinking. We might even make you laugh!
