Helping you to build and protect your family wealth
As a family, you don’t need a big-name law firm to take care of your family wealth.
What you need is a lawyer who cares, understands you and your circumstances, and who works hard to help you achieve your life goals and build up your family wealth. You need strategies and solutions to achieve your objectives, and someone who gets it done without the legal jargon.

Estate planning lawyers Melbourne – protecting your family wealth
Your estate, your way
An estate plan gives you certainty.
Certainty that your personal family wealth is proteted, that your family wealth will be transferred to your loved ones, that your risks and taxes will be minimised, and that your family are cared for.
If you’ve looked around our website already, you’d know that our estate planning lawyers in Melbourne take a somewhat different view.
Unlike other lawyers who start with trying to understand your assets, we start with you.
“What do you want to achieve? What are your concerns? What keeps you awake at night?”
From there we understand how you own your family wealth and then start piecing together a strategy and solutions to achieve your goals.
Your estate plan is a way for you to achieve your specific goals regarding your family wealth. Your goal may be to:
- Providing financial security for your children
- Limit the taxes payable in the future
- Protect your children’s inheritance
- Prevent estate claims
- Preserve generational wealth
Whatever it is, your estate should be planned with that specific outcome in mind – something that our estate planning lawyers in Melbourne can help you with.
Will lawyers Melbourne
Peace of mind for after you’re gone
It isn’t something most of us like to think about.
The only thing more discomforting is the idea of passing without a Will and leaving behind only confusion, conflict and significant additional cost.
Danaher Moulton works with you to organise your affairs, and ensure that your wishes are carried out after you’re gone to avoid any unnecessary heartbreak.
Deceased estate lawyers Melbourne
We make the complex simple
Grants of probate and letters of administration are collectively referred to as grants of representation. A grant of representation gives a person the legal right to administer the estate of a deceased person.
Probate is the legal document that certifies that a Will is valid and can be acted upon.
Danaher Legal are experts when it comes to arranging the appropriate documentation on behalf of the executors or the legal next of kin. The process can be quite daunting for a newly appointed executor and we are here to assist.
From obtaining probate/administration to managing the estate itself and the distribution of proceeds to the beneficiaries in accordance with the Will, we provide sensitive and accurate support.
Succession planning lawyers Melbourne
Hang up your hat confident that business will carry on
Unlike many of the other services, succession planning is an inherently hands-on task. This is an area where our practical, common-sense approach towards legal services proves its worth!
We go to great lengths to understand your company, its culture, its values and its people – once we do that, we sit down with you to plan out the next step and ensure that your business is left in good hands.
Our focus on finding solutions that work for you means that we’re able to create a succession plan that keeps things running smoothly. We ensure that your values are passed along, that systems are ready for new leadership and that the best person for the job is chosen to replace you.
Saying goodbye to your life’s work can be tough, especially if you’ve spent years building your business or company up to the place it’s at today. With good succession planning however, it doesn’t have to be.
