Wills and Estates Sunshine Coast
Wills and estate planning are fundamental to ensure your personal and business assets are managed according to your wishes when you pass away or lose capacity to manage them yourself. A Will is a legal document outlining how one’s assets should be divided among beneficiaries, addressing concerns like guardianship of children and funeral arrangements.
Disputing a Will
If you have been left out of a Will or you believe your inheritance is inadequate, Beckhaus Legal can help. Kristen is a skilled Will dispute lawyer who can provide guidance, assess the merits of the dispute and explore legal options for you to consider.
What happens if I don't have a Will when I pass away?
If you pass away without a valid Will, your assets will be subject to intestacy laws. Depending on the State or Territory you lived in will determine how your assets are distributed, often prioritising spouses or de facto partners and blood relatives. This can sometimes lead to outcomes that may not align to your wishes, potentially leaving loved ones without adequate provisions and can also result in delays and complexities. To ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes, it’s essential to have a properly executed Will in place.

Over a few years I have needed various types of legal advice, from buying a home to a seperation involving children and Kristen Beckhaus has always gone the extra mile to make sure I understood exactly what needed to be done and why. Everything was always completed quickly and I found comfort being able to talk directly to the principal Solicitor of the firm. Pricing was also very fair in my opinion. Highly recommended!

I can’t speak more highly of Beckhaus Legal, being new to the Sunshine Coast it was hard to find a lawyer we trusted, and who we knew would go the extra mile. Kristen has been incredible, knowledgeable and patient with all of our last minute hurdles. Truly thank you, and recommend.
– Beth
The road to the finalisation of my relationship to my partner has taken nearly 4years. It has taken its toll on me emotionally and mentally. Being recommended by a friend at work, I contacted Kristen and immediately over the phone, I liked her relaxed nature , Kristen set out clearly options for me going forward with my separation . On our first consultation my judgement about Kristen was validated as we all know separations are hard enough. Kristen has left me at ease and would easily recommend her to anyone facing the same issues.
– Wayne

She made it really simple to understand and explained everything in plain english and it was really straightforward. Its great to find a good solicitor that is knowledgeable and personable. Thanks, I’ll be back.
