Wills and Estates
While a Will can seem like a straight forward document and some people choose to prepare their will independently lawyers know all too well that this can lead to unintended consequences. It is imperative that you seek advice from a qualified wills and estates lawyer to avoid potential heartache, inheritance disputes and unnecessary legal costs after you are gone.
If you feel you have been unfairly provided for in another person’s will it may be possible to lodge an inheritance claim. It is imperative that you obtain legal advice promptly to ensure that any entitlement to the estate is protected.
Probate
If you have been appointed an executor in a will you have certain legal obligations. It is usually the case that the Will has to be proven and registered at the Supreme Court. The name of this legal process is Probate.
Matthew Mitchell solicitors are experienced in obtaining probate and administering estates.
Victims Of Crime
If you have found yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time, and have been exposed to a crime being committed, you will likely be mentally, and/or physically traumatised. If you have experienced the trauma of any capacity, and have required treatment, rehabilitation, or time off work as a result, our team at Matthew Mitchell Solutions will work tirelessly to acquire compensation for your losses.
The Victims of Crime (VOC) Compensation Scheme has been administered to help people who have been injured by a criminal act, at no fault of their own. The amount of compensation paid out is determined by the seriousness of the injury obtained, as opposed to the severity of the crime you have been exposed to. During your free initial phone consultation with us, we will work to understand your situation and provide you with advice specific to your sustained injuries. It may just be that VOC compensation is not the best route to go down, in which case we will build a claim to achieve the best possible outcome for you.
Claims that were made for incidents that occurred between 1 September 1990 and 30 June 2015 received a maximum compensation payout of $50,000. Claims lodged for incidents that occurred on or after 1 July 2015 receive a maximum compensation payout of $100,000.
If your claim is successful, your legal fees will be paid by the Government, meaning you will receive compensation without paying a cent! For more information from our experienced Victims of Crime lawyers, contact us today for a consultation.
