Practice Area
Wills & Estates
Estate planning, wills, enduring power of attorney, advanced health care directives, asset protection, superannuation, estate administration, trusts, and estate disputes.
Overview
A will is the simplest legal document most people will ever need — and the easiest to get wrong. A poorly drafted will is often worse than no will at all.
Trilogy Law Group prepares wills and estate plans that work — not just on the day they're signed, but years later when they're actually used. We think about blended families, business interests, super, asset protection, estate administration and the people who might challenge.

Common questions
Frequently asked
How much does a will cost in Brisbane?+
We offer fixed-fee wills for straightforward situations. More complex estate plans involving trusts, businesses or blended families are quoted in writing after an initial consultation.
Do I need a testamentary trust?+
Not everyone needs one. They are most useful when significant assets are passing to beneficiaries who are minors, vulnerable, in second marriages, or in high-risk occupations. We assess your situation honestly.
What happens to my super when I die?+
Super does not automatically pass under your will. It is dealt with by the trustee of your super fund and your binding death nomination. We coordinate the two.
How often should I update my will?+
After any major life event — marriage, separation, children, business changes, deaths in the family, or significant changes in assets. As a default, review every 3–5 years.
What if someone wants to challenge my will?+
Queensland law allows certain family members to make a family-provision claim. Good drafting and a recorded reasoning can significantly reduce the risk of a successful challenge.
