Wills and Estate Planning
Dieter has been assisting clients with their Estate Planning matters since his admission into law in 1998. He understands that you make a Will to protect your assets and provide some certainty for the interest you want to leave for your family.
A Will can be simple or can include complex issues of estate planning. However it is also a very important document that you will want to use to convey your wishes clearly and justly. Dieter has prepared numerous Wills from simple Wills that convey a specific gift to Testamentary Trusts that provide for the ongoing educational needs of children.
Occasionally a client may want to contest a Will as they feel wronged or disaffected from the process. Dieter understands that during these times there can be strong emotions involved so it is important to have the right legal approach from the outset. Dieter will assist you to understand your position and any legal remedies that you might have open to you. Dieter is driven by providing a timely resolution for clients so he ensures that you will move through the process and achieve a just result at the earliest possible phase.
