Wills and estate planning services we offer
Estate planning
A strong estate plan gives you peace of mind and protects the people you care about. We help you make clear decisions about your assets, your wishes, and how everything should be managed when the time comes

Power of Attorney
If you lose the ability to make decisions, it matters who steps in. We prepare Power of Attorney documents that clearly set out who can act on your behalf and in what situations, giving you control even in uncertain times

Superannuation
Super doesn’t automatically form part of your estate. We advise on how to nominate beneficiaries properly, integrate your super into your wider estate planning, and avoid unintended outcomes that can trigger disputes or delays

Testamentary Trusts
A Testamentary Trust lets you pass on assets in a protected way. It can support young children, safeguard family wealth, and give you more control in complex or sensitive situations. We’ll help you structure it to suit your goals

How we help with Wills and estate planning
With the right team beside you and the right advice to suit your own unique circumstances we can ensure you have the right plans in place to best protect your assets and secure your legacy.
Tailored estate planning
We create tailored estate plans that reflect your goals, values, and family circumstances. Every plan is designed to ensure your wishes are carried out and to reduce the risk of future family provision claims or disputes
Writing your Will
A well-drafted Will helps you protect your legacy, reduce confusion, and provide clearly for your loved ones. We make sure yours is valid, thorough, and built to suit your own unique circumstances and family dynamic
The right legal documents
We can prepare Enduring Powers of Attorney, Enduring Powers of Guardianship, and Advance Health Directives. These documents form the basis of all solid estate plans and cover a raft of scenarios to give you the best protection
Testamentary Trusts for added protection
A Testamentary Trust can help manage family wealth, protect vulnerable beneficiaries, and control how your assets are used. We help you structure it to fit your unique goals.
Superannuation & estate planning
We ensure your super is considered as part of your estate plan, including advice on binding nominations and effective strategies for passing on your superannuation.
Lifetime gifting and succession strategies
We advise on early inheritance planning, including gifting and asset transfers during your lifetime. These strategies can support your loved ones now while aligning with your long-term estate goals
Keeping your plan up to date
We recommend reviewing your estate plan regularly, at least every 3-5 years or, especially after major life changes. Our team can update your documents to make sure they still reflect your wishes and your life.

Our client testimonials
From individuals to families, from startups to large corporates, professional groups to charitable foundations – we’ve stood beside a diverse range of clients helping them best navigate their legal journeys. Here’s what just some of them have to say
“I cannot thank Matthew and Morgan enough for their dedication and support during one of the hardest times of my life. From the very beginning, they were not only incredibly knowledgeable and strategic, but also deeply moral, always upholding integrity while achieving outstanding results. I always felt heard, supported, and confident in their guidance. Their trustworthiness gave me peace of mind, and they were always available when I had questions or concerns. If you need a lawyer who truly cares and fights for you, I highly recommend Solomon Hollett Lawyers.”

“I cannot recommend Solomon Hollett Lawyers enough. The team were fantastic from start to finish. My elderly mother recently lost my father and there were some delicate matters to finalise. From receptionists to the Partners, my mother was treated with respect, kindness, understanding and given every assistance and courtesy she could want. We were informed every step of the process and they made it 100% stress free. Their fees were more than reasonable, especially as my mother is a pensioner. If you are looking for a firm that truly cares, that you can trust to do what you require, when you require it and within budget look no further than the team at Solomon Hollett Lawyers, they’re fantastic!”
Sheryl
“The last few months have caused a significant amount of stress for me around an estate matter. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I searched for legal assistance since I have never had to use the services of a law firm before. Other Google reviews led me to Solomon Hollett Lawyers where I found Brandon to be very helpful and knowledgeable. Just knowing that he was supporting me in this matter made all the difference and helped to facilitate a positive outcome.”
Vicki
“From our first interaction, I knew Andrew Bower was the right lawyer for my property dispute case. His extensive knowledge and clear communication transformed what seemed like a complex issue into something manageable and understandable, giving me the confidence to move forward. Throughout the entire process, Andrew was consistently diligent, attentive, respectful, and compassionate. I always felt heard and supported every step of the way. He made time to address my concerns and provided reassurance that greatly eased my mind. Not only did he handle the legal complexities with professionalism, but he also alleviated the emotional stress that came with it. Andrew was a true blessing in my corner, fighting for me with unwavering dedication. The favourable outcome was a direct result of his expertise and commitment. I truly believe that not all lawyers are created equal—Andrew stands head and shoulders above the rest. His blend of legal brilliance, compassion, and relentless dedication makes him an exceptional lawyer. I’m beyond grateful for his service and support, and I would wholeheartedly recommend him without any hesitation.”
Thao
“Great experience dealing with the team from Solomon Hollett hired to represent me in a contested estate Will in which I was the executor. Best described as down to earth interactions with good comms and professionalism maintained throughout, a positive result was achieved and I have no hesitation in recommending the team.”
Thomas
“Almost two years after winding up my business I received an erroneous letter of demand for close to $200k from a Global supplier which came with a lien on my home. I engaged Andrew from Solomon Hollett based on a recommendation and from the outset I have been nothing but impressed. The communication from Andrew and his team has been prompt and concise. Unfazed by the unlimited resources and size of the plaintiff Andrew was able to negotiate a settlement of less than 5% and obviously have the lien on my home removed. Should you find yourself in need of legal services I have no hesitation in recommending Andrew and his team.”
David
“I have engaged the legal services of Solomon Hollett on a couple of occasions. They have always been professional and have obtained the best outcome possible in every situation. They also treat each matter with care and consideration for their clients. I can highly recommend them.”
Heather
“We had a great experience with Brandon from Solomon Hollett. From the first phone call, I could tell that he had a solid grasp of our situation and what we wanted to achieve. He was very helpful and very responsive throughout our dealings with him. He got everything done in a timely way and we’re very happy with the result. Definitely recommended! Thanks, Brandon :)”
AJ
“We are very grateful to Craig for his outstanding work. Craig was highly professional, clear about his role and what he could do for us and he handled our case with an incisive precision. Craig fully and respectfully explained the processes and complexities of the case in a language that made sense to us, and he outlined in detail steps that we had to take. What impressed us most was his willingness to understand the complexities of our Church structures and laws and take on board our principles and concerns. We cannot recommend Craig highly enough.”
Jaine
“Matthew Gunn was highly recommended to my wife and I. We both needed to renew our old out-dated Wills. We found Matthew to offer very good advice, he also is a good listener and once he gathered the details and our wishes he then gave valuable legal suggestions to ensure we had new Wills that suited our complex needs. Our new detailed legal Wills are exactly the way we wanted it. We can now rest easy knowing that should something happen to one or both of us, our Wills will ensure our investments and wishes are managed the way we requested. If you need legal advice or Wills drawn up, I would recommend you make an appointment to see Matthew Gunn.”
Paul
“I had an exceptional experience with Solomon Hollett Lawyers, particularly thanks to Annabel and Brandon. Annabel was my primary contact throughout my family provisions claim, and her professionalism and honesty made a significant difference. She was always open and transparent, ensuring I understood each step of the process. Brandon, as the director, provided valuable insights and guidance that further reinforced my trust in their team. Both of them set realistic expectations, which helped me navigate a challenging situation with confidence. I truly felt supported and informed every step of the way. I highly recommend Solomon Hollett Lawyers for anyone needing expert legal assistance!”
Alanah and Jarrad
“We engaged Solomon Hollett to represent us (executors) in a challenging and frustrating estate matter. We cannot praise both Morgan Solomon and Matthew Gunn highly enough for the extremely professional and understanding approach they took and their attention to detail. Their knowledge of both the law and estate procedures was second to none and their communication skills were outstanding. We settled the matter at mediation thanks in large part to their support and guidance. I would very strongly recommend them.”
Ian and Alan
“Many thanks to Brandon Hetherington who helped us with a recent property transaction matter and achieved a favourable outcome. Brandon was referred to us by an interstate law firm as a matter of urgency. We were and are immensely grateful that he was exceptionally professional, efficient, knowledgeable, informative, experienced, responsive and respectful in assisting us. His advice gave us extra confidence in dealing with the matter and we were fully satisfied with the results. We cannot thank Brandon enough. We give 10 out of 5 stars for Brandon, and highly recommend his services and Solomon Hollett Lawyers.”

“Morgan is absolutely outstanding. Thorough, considerate and clearly communicates, but also works with compassion. He was so reassuring and helpful we couldn’t believe that treatment from a lawyer. Cannot speak highly enough of him and the work they do.”
Kristen
“What an amazing team of professionals who are also caring, contactable, approachable. Thank you so much.”
Peter
“I am forever grateful to have found Matthew Gunn (of Solomon Hollett Lawyers) to handle my complex family estate matter. I organised a free telephone consult from interstate with Matthew (because of positive online reviews), and I am so pleased that I did. From the outset, Matthew’s empathy, estate legal knowledge and confidence in my case was reassuring and a great relief. I was not only impressed with Matthew’s knowledge of estate law but also his kindness and unwavering persistence to fight for me.
My case was complex (it was drawn out for approximately 18 months) and whilst Matthew was my main contact, I also had the pleasure to work with Jessica Spee. I felt very supported by both Matthew and Jessica and impressed with their high level of professionalism, respect and compassion. This professionalism also carried through to support staff. I wholeheartedly recommend Solomon Hollett Lawyers and thank Matthew and Jessica for their work to settle my case favourably, so that I can move forward with my life.”

“We are very grateful for the professionalism and knowledge of both Matthew and Morgan who helped us to deal with a very difficult family estate matter.
Throughout the process they clearly outlined all the options available for us and helped us to work through the best option for us.
They helped us to remain focused on the main issues at hand when we were up against some very frustrating and stressful matters.
In addition the ability to hold meetings via teleconference due to living over 2 hours away made the process even easier.
We would definitely recommend Solomon Hollett Lawyers to anyone that is having issues with Estate Matters.”

This law sets out a strict order of priority for who receives your assets — which may not reflect your personal wishes. In these cases, a family member or eligible person must apply for Letters of Administration to manage the estate. Dying intestate can lead to delays, added costs, and disputes among family members. A valid Will gives you control and helps protect your legacy.
