The Legacy Law Lounge

The Legacy Law Lounge is a space for practical, down-to-earth conversations about estate planning for Australian families. It’s where we cut through the noise and talk about the decisions that really matter—like who would raise your kids if something happened, how to protect your assets, and how to avoid unnecessary stress and drama down the track. We also explore smart strategies like using testamentary trusts to minimise tax, protect your children’s inheritance, and guard against future relationship breakdowns.
