Whether you are a first time buyer, selling a property for the first time or a seasoned property investor, the conveyancing transaction can be a daunting and scary task with a number of pitfalls. It is always best to use an experienced conveyancer to carry out the work.

What is Conveyancing?

Conveyancing is the process of transferring ownership of a legal title of land to the new owner. It can be a complex legal situation and it is recommended to hire a professional team of lawyers such as Darley Legal to conduct your conveyancing.

Most family lawyers represent clients in divorce proceedings and other family-related matters related to divorce. Since family law matters hit so close to home, having a trusted legal professional by your side can help you to ensure your loved ones are properly represented and protected during any legal process.

Usually by the time you start thinking of divorce and separation the relationship has been broken for a while and all attempts to save it have failed. There can be little doubt that commencing divorce proceedings can be a time of heartbreak and confusion, regardless of how difficult things were in the end. Our family lawyers appreciate this and can guide you through the process with compassion and empathy.

The most common reasons to hire a family lawyer include Divorce, Parenting, Spousal Maintenance and financial matters.

A Will is a written declaration by you as to how you want your assets/property to be distributed after you pass. Having a Will is extremely important to give you and your family peace of mind that they will be looked after once you’ve gone.

We cannot stress the importance of having a valid Will. Should you die without a Will, you die intestate. Your family will not be able to apply for a grant of probate but instead will have to apply to the Court for Letters of Administration. Whilst applying for a grant of probate can be a simple process, applying for letters of Administration is much more complex and can have an end result that you may not have wished for.

For a fixed fee our experienced Wills and Estates Lawyers can draft a valid Will giving you that peace of mind.

Darley Legal also specialise in Enduring Power of Attorney and Enduring Power of Guardianship.

We all know that one day we and our loved ones will pass away, but despite that when a loved one leaves us it remains a time of shock and despair. When you have been appointed to manage a person’s affairs after their death it will invariably be a close loved one that has died, a spouse or a sibling. The burden of getting on with the job at hand, crossing the T’s and dotting the I’s can be a difficult task in such a time of grief. Our Probate lawyers understand the grief that you are going through and make it their mission to add some comfort and clarity in your time of need. Our Probate lawyers can guide you through the complex legal paperwork and allow you time to grieve for the person that has passed, whilst still honouring their last wishes.

What is Probate?

When a person dies leaving a Will, which leaves assets in NSW, it is likely that the person they have named as executor will need to make an application to the Supreme Court of New South Wales in order to deal with those assets. Making this application is known as making an application for Probate. Only once the application for Probate has been Granted by the Supreme Court can the executor deal with the Will and divide the deceased person’s assets according to the wishes as set out in the Will.

Not every legal matter requires the use of lawyers, but there are definitely times when you should hire Central Coast lawyers. Below are our top reasons for engaging the services of Darley Legal Lawyers.

1. The Law is Complicated – Law is extremely complicated and unless you are very well versed in all aspects of the law you should never attempt to represent yourself in a case. It is the fastest way for the case to unwind and you to get yourself in over your head.
2. Not having a lawyer may cost you more – There are many things at stake when it comes to a range of cases such as a criminal case that could end up with you behind bars, while a civil case could hurt you financially. Hiring a lawyer can make you money or save you money.
3. Lawyers can provide free consultation – Since many lawyers will meet with you for free during a face-to-face consultation, there is really no harm in talking with one. Not only will a free consultation give you an idea of the type of case you have and its likely outcome, but it will also help you decide whether you actually need to hire a lawyer.
