Matthew
Gunn

Matt is a dedicated succession lawyer with deep experience in estate planning, estate administration and inheritance litigation.

He works primarily with high-net-worth families, partnering with their accountants, financial planners and advisors to develop tailored succession strategies that protect both personal and business interests. His practice spans the management of complex asset structures – including trusts, private companies and self-managed superannuation funds – ensuring legacies are secure, intentional and enduring.

In estate administration, Matt regularly obtains grants of probate and administration, including proving informal Wills, and manages complex, high-value estates. Families value his calm, methodical approach and the clarity he brings to what can often be a difficult and emotional process.

A strong believer in prevention over litigation, Matt focuses on reducing the risk of inheritance disputes through clear planning and practical advice.   When disputes are unavoidable, he applies the same steady, strategic mindset to achieve positive outcomes in family provision claims, challenges to the validity of Wills, trust disputes and conflicts between executors and beneficiaries.
