The unfolding Covid-19 situation has resulted in people understandably questioning their estate planning. “Have I got an up to date Will? Do I need to appoint anyone as my attorney or guardian?” These are common questions especially now.

Despite the Covid-19 situation, Baker Wilson Davies Lawyers (BWD) is still open for business operating safely from the office and by remote.

If you want to put in place a new Will, Power of Attorney or Enduring Guardian in the current circumstances, BWD recommends the following steps:

• Contact the office on (03) 6264 1055 or info@bakerwilsondavies.com.au to arrange an appointment;

• One of our friendly solicitors will then contact you by phone to conduct an interview by phone (or other means if available) and discuss your requirements. This normally takes approximately 30 minutes depending on the level of your instructions.

• BWD will then prepare a draft Will or other documents with your requirements, and send to you by email or post.

• You review the documents. Any changes or corrections can be made. Once finalised, BWD can arrange with you the best way of having the final documents signed safely. There are important requirements in having Wills signed.

BWD invites you to contact them today and they can put your mind at ease with these arrangements.

Due to the unfolding COVID-19 situation, some of our staff are working remotely, and we are temporarily restricting access to our office at 3 Wilmot Road, Huonville.

We require all contact to be via telephone/email instead of face-to-face appointments where possible.

We have made this decision because we believe it is the best way we can fulfil our responsibility to ensure the health and safety of our staff, clients, visitors and the community as the COVID-19 situation unfolds.

Thanks for your understanding.
