“I do this work because I have seen all too often families suffer unnecessary conflict, cost and heartbreak simply due to lack of planning. I‘m driven to educate people before problems arise and to fight for them when they do. I love a good argument, I care deeply about getting it right and I believe most disputes would disappear if people simply had honest conversations earlier and proper estate planning.”
What do Amy’s clients have to say?
“We had an excellent experience with Solomon Hollett Lawyers. Our requirement was specific and specialised, and their solicitors were very knowledgeable and practical in coming up with solutions.”

Inheritance disputes and claims in Western Australia
Most people who find themselves in an inheritance dispute never expected to be there. Loss is disorienting enough. When money and family dynamics enter the picture at the same time, the situation can feel overwhelming, and the decisions made in those early weeks matter enormously.
Do you need a lawyer to make a Will in Australia?
The short answer is no – legally, you don't need a lawyer to make a Will in Australia. You can write your own Will by hand, use a Will kit from a newsagency, or complete an online Will template.
