Everyone deserves the peace that comes from the knowledge that our loved ones will be cared for once we’re gone and that our estate will be dispensed according to our wishes. At Biddulph & Turley, we endeavour to provide that peace of mind to every client. Biddulph & Turley specialize in wills, probate, and everything to do with deceased estates. For over 25 years, we have provided the Perth area with expert legal advice in matters of deceased estates, wills, and trusts, including all aspects of estate planning.

Without a valid will, your estate falls under Western Australia’s intestacy rules, which may not reflect your true wishes. This can lead to unintended beneficiaries, family disputes, and prolonged legal processes. An outdated or poorly drafted will creates confusion, delays asset distribution, and increases the risk of legal challenges. In emotionally charged situations, the absence of a clear, legally sound document can fracture family relationships and deplete estate value.

Biddulph & Turley offers professional will services in Perth, designed to protect your assets and ensure your intentions are upheld. Our experienced lawyers guide you through every stage of estate planning with precision and discretion.

Wills: Foundation of Effective Estate Planning

A will is not merely a document—it is a legal directive that defines how your estate will be managed after your passing. In Perth, many individuals delay creating a will, assuming informal arrangements or verbal assurances are sufficient. However, only a properly executed will, compliant with the Wills Act 1970 (WA), holds legal weight.

At Biddulph & Turley, we specialise in drafting comprehensive wills in Perth that account for complex family dynamics, property holdings, and financial assets. Our approach ensures clarity in the appointment of executors, guardians for minor children, and specific bequests. We also address potential tax implications and strategies to safeguard your estate from unnecessary erosion. Creating wills with legal professionals eliminates the risks associated with DIY templates, which often fail to meet statutory requirements such as witnessing protocols and mental capacity assessments. Our team ensures every detail is legally sound, reducing the likelihood of disputes or invalidation.

Comprehensive Wills and Estate Services

Beyond the creation of a will, Biddulph & Turley provides a full suite of estate planning services tailored to the needs of Western Australian residents. We assist clients in structuring their affairs to minimise future complications, including the use of testamentary trusts to protect beneficiaries from creditors or relationship breakdowns.

Our wills practice also encompasses advice on enduring powers of attorney and advance health directives—critical instruments that allow you to appoint trusted individuals to make financial and medical decisions if you lose capacity. These documents work in conjunction with your will to ensure continuity of control over your personal and financial life. For clients with business interests, cross-border assets, or blended families, our legal team delivers customised solutions that reflect your unique circumstances. We conduct thorough assessments of your estate to identify potential vulnerabilities and implement strategies that enhance legal protection and efficiency.

Administration of Deceased Estates with Legal Expertise

When a loved one passes, the administration of their estate requires careful legal oversight. Executors must navigate probate applications, asset valuation, debt settlement, and compliance with tax obligations. Mistakes at this stage can lead to personal liability or delays in distribution. Biddulph & Turley supports executors and beneficiaries throughout the deceased estates process. We assist with lodging applications for grants of representation, preparing estate accounts, and resolving disputes under the Family Provision Act 1972 (WA). Our experience in contested wills ensures that your rights are protected with professionalism and diligence.

The firm’s deep understanding of Western Australian probate procedures enables us to streamline the administration process, reducing stress for grieving families. Whether the estate is straightforward or involves multiple properties, trusts, or international elements, our legal guidance ensures compliance and fairness.
