Peter Fisher Lawyers: here at every step of your life
Most people will require advice and representation from a lawyer at one or more stages of their lives. Often advice and representation are required at times of financial, personal or emotional crisis. Usually a very difficult time to be determining who you want to work with to support your through critical stages of your life.
- Buying or selling property (conveyancing)
- Lending or giving money to your family
- Creating a will and critical health documents, such as advance care directives
- Establishing estate plans and designating beneficiaries for your assets
- Dissolving a marriage or de facto relationship
- Dealing with a friend or family member’s deceased estate and probate
Thanks to our professional connections, we can also refer you to obtain the advice you require from trusted accountants, business and financial planners to reach your retirement, career and estate goals, or to assist with the division of assets after a relationship breakdown.
Legal assistance throughout life’s journey
Many people expect that they’ll only need to hire a lawyer for a one-time event. They fear lawyers are expensive or they don’t feel any great urgency to settle their affairs, and so they put off creating a will, or ensuring they have the legal documentation to provide for their end of life. Unfortunately, we regularly work with grieving families who are trying to manage the administration of intestate estate of their loved ones who did not prepare a will prior to their death, or failed to obtain important advice to ensure the effect of their estate planning documents reflected their intentions. For example, including reference to loan agreements, forgiving loans, providing a life interest in property to a de facto partner and more.
We believe it is better to find the right person to assist you before there is a crisis?
