At Cavaldos + Woolf Lawyers, Estate Planning is taken very seriously and is a field of passion for our principal, Marie Sheehy,

Estate Planning decisions are often some of the most emotional and critical a family can make.

It is our mission to ensure that the assets that you have spent a lifetime creating are protected and that your family, friends and institutions who may benefit from those assets one day do so, according to your wishes. 

When you visit or call our office, we want you to feel comfortable discussing such important issues concerning both you and your family. We want to arm you with the information you need to make an informed decision about your family’s future. 

Through our LEGACY SHIELD™ strategies, we will help you choose the correct and safest path to protect your legacy,  now and in the future. 

Legacy planning is a more holistic approach to estate planning. We help you preserve your financial wealth and legacy, including your life stories and family heirlooms, for future generations. 

Our non-traditional planning methods include special provisions and protections in Living Trusts, Wills (complex and simple), Powers of Attorney, Living Wills, Irrevocable and/or Testamentary Trusts and charitable gifting strategies.

This planning also includes minimising taxes, avoiding the expense and complexities of probate, protecting against remarriage after death of the first spouse, and protecting beneficiaries from possible future relationship breakdowns. 

We have extensive experience in a broad range of commercial property services and act on behalf of numerous property developers, commercial real estate agencies and individual investors, including several Very High Net Worth Individuals. 

Our services include:

– The sale and purchase of commercial property, retail, office buildings and shopping centers.

– Acquisition and disposal of industrial property including developed Industrial property and greenfield sites. 

– Leasing for both landlords and tenants of commercial, retail, industrial and hotel premises.

– Mixed use developments including residential subdivisions. 

– Easements (including volumetric easements), licenses, compulsory acquisitions and encroachments;

– Conducting due diligence enquiries including review of leases, service contracts, statutory searches and title encumbrances

Our LEGACY SHIELD™ strategies extend far beyond estate planning and can have far reaching benefits particularly if you have substantial assets and/or operate in a business or profession where it is prudent to safeguard your personal assets and wealth in case of disputes of litigation.

When discussing Risk Management and Assets Protection there is a complex interaction between company law, the law of trusts and property, tax and estate planning laws, bankruptcy and insolvency law. It is our job to  help you navigate these complexities and achieve lasting and certain outcomes. 

Some of the techniques we use include the preservation and transmission of property of individuals, families or corporations.

The purpose of this is to minismise legal, business and political risks to your wealth and legacy by safeguarding assets from seizure, loss and degradation in value. 

Our LEGACY SHIELD™ strategies are concerned with the protection of assets from potential creditors, government expropriation, excessive taxation and catastrophic loss. These strategies are a vital componet of tax advice, wealth management and financial planning. 

Commercial Litigation is about managing risk and minimising costs, not about scoring points. 

An unfortunate reality of commerce is that from time to time, you and your business will have a dispute with a client, a supplier, the provider of a good or a service or even with third parties who infringe or encroach on your rights. 

Commercial litigation is inherently not for the feint hearted – it can be protracted, expensive, frustrating and, if it ends up in court, you may not get the result you want, whether or not you are successful. 

We do a lot of commercial litigation and are very good at it – we are so good at it that we seldom end up in Court as we manage to negotiate a mutually agreeable commercial (and confidential) settlements before costs escalate beyond control.

If however, your matter does end up in Court, we will be there next to you with some of the best barristers in the specific area of dispute and we will fight for you until the very end.

We have acted in a myriad matters, from contract and commerical to construction and building disputes and from trade practice infringement to disputes about partnerships and business entities.
