Comprehensive Services to Meet Your Needs
If you’re looking for an efficient, cost-effective and highly experienced service, you’ve come to the right person. From drafting wills to representing clients in court, my team and I have got your legal needs covered.
Wills
A well-drafted will can help prevent potential conflicts among family members over the division of your assets and allows you to appoint a guardian for your children.
A will can also be used as a tool for estate tax planning. By structuring your estate plan effectively, you can potentially minimise the tax burden on your assets
Lasting Power of Attorney
There are two types of LPA, I can create both for you.
Property and Financial Affairs LPA
This type of LPA grants the appointed attorney(s) the authority to make decisions and take actions regarding the donor’s finances, property, and other financial matters.
Health and Welfare LPA
This LPA gives the appointed attorney(s) the authority to make decisions regarding the donor’s health and personal welfare.
Probate
This is the legal process through which a deceased person’s estate is administered and distributed according to their will or, in the absence of a will, according to the laws of intestacy.
Disputes can arise while handling probate, my team and I have years of experience resolving them.
Property Trusts
A legal arrangement where property ownership is held and managed by a trustee for the benefit of the trust beneficiaries. It is a form of trust commonly used for property investment or estate planning purposes.
Advocacy and Representation
Estate Planning
Estate planning is the process of arranging and managing your assets and affairs during your lifetime and after your death. More than just putting a will on paper – it’s about putting a framework in place that ensures that ensures your wishes are respected. As a direct access barrister I will help you understand the bigger picture including tax considerations, asset protection, long-term business plans and healthcare directives
Working with Barraj Legal
WORKING TOGETHER TO RESOLVE DISPUTES
1
CONSULTATION
The first step is a consultation where we sit down and go through the details of your dispute together. You can share what’s been happening, provide any documents you have, and raise any questions or concerns. From there, we’ll assess the strengths of your case, walk you through how the legal process works, and give you an initial sense of the options available to you.
2
ANALYSIS
Our next step is to analyse the relevant laws, regulations, contracts, and documents related to your dispute. Based on this analysis, we will develop a legal strategy to help you achieve your desired outcome, whether through negotiation, mediation, or litigation
3
GATHER EVIDENCE
To build a strong case, Barraj Legal will help you gather relevant evidence to support your position. This may include property documents, surveys, photographs, witness statements, expert reports, and any other documentation or evidence that strengthens your claim or defence.
4
ATTEMPT NEGOTIATION
In many disputes, it’s often best to try negotiation or mediation before going to court. I’ll speak on your behalf during discussions with the other party or their lawyer, working toward a solution everyone can agree on. If we’re able to reach a settlement, Barraj Legal will take care of drafting and finalising the agreement so everything is clear and properly documented.
5
COURT PROCEEDINGS (IF NECESSARY)
If negotiations or mediation don’t lead to a resolution, we may need to take the matter to court. If that happens, my team and I will be with you every step of the way. They’ll handle the paperwork, I’ll represent you at hearings, present your evidence, and question witnesses where needed. Most importantly, we’ll make sure your story is clearly heard and advocate strongly for your interests throughout the entire process.
