About Jaime

Founder of Family First Estate Planning

hi, I'm JAIME!

I’m a lawyer, a mum of five, and the founder of Family First Estate Planning. I live and work from our family farm in Northern New South Wales, where I help families all over Australia get their estate plans sorted—clearly, calmly, and without the overwhelm.

I’ve spent close to two decades working across both family law and estate planning, with most of that experience gained in Sydney-based firms, including several years in a multi-disciplinary practice alongside accountants and financial advisers. That background gave me a deep understanding of how legal, financial, and personal considerations all intersect—especially when it comes to protecting families, children, and legacies.

I’m a bit of a perfectionist (in the best way) and am always learning, refining, and upskilling.

I’m part of The Art of Estate Planning,

a close-knit group of estate planning professionals who support one another with ongoing technical training, connection, and shared insights—so I can continue giving my clients the most up-to-date and strategic advice available.

What I’ve learned over the years is that legal documents are only one part of the puzzle.

What people really want is clarity, confidence, and peace of mind—the comfort of knowing their children will be cared for, their wishes will be respected, and their voice will still be heard, even if the unexpected happens.

That’s why I started Family First.

To give families, couples, carers and individuals access to high-quality, personalised legal advice—without needing to chase down lawyers, step foot in a formal office, or navigate it all alone.

What makes this different?

Everything we do is virtual and designed to fit around your life—whether that’s during nap time, your lunch break, or after school drop-off.

You’ll receive fixed-fee options, clear guidance, and flexible support every step of the way.

And most importantly, you’ll walk away with a complete life and legacy plan—not just a Will.

Real help, real impact

You won’t find confusing paperwork or cold legal lingo here. Just genuine, thoughtful estate planning that puts people first.

If you’re ready to create your own life and legacy plan, I’d love to help.

Let’s make sure your wishes are clear, your people are protected, and your plan actually works—when it matters most.
