Experts in Wills and Estates
Heckenberg Lawyers is a Sydney-based firm with reputable family lawyers serving clients in Bankstown. Our team specialises in Contesting Wills, Probate, and Estate Planning. With a reputation for integrity and client-focused service, the firm ensures every client receives personalised attention from a senior lawyer, not just a junior associate. This approach sets Heckenberg Lawyers apart. Each case is treated with the seriousness it deserves, whether it involves challenging a will, navigating probate, or planning for the future with estate documents.
Our combination of skill, empathy, and practical advice provides peace of mind and strong representation. The firm is committed to providing cost-effective solutions without the high fees often associated with large city practices. Instead, clients benefit from the collective resources of the entire team while maintaining direct communication with a senior lawyer who takes responsibility for their case. This ensures transparency, efficiency, and a legal strategy tailored to your best interests.
Our family lawyers in Bankstown are experts in contesting wills, guiding clients through the complexities of family provision claims and inheritance disputes. We provide clear advice on whether a claim has merit and the best way to resolve matters quickly and cost-effectively. Probate is another area in which Heckenberg Lawyers excels. The probate process can often feel overwhelming, involving strict deadlines and detailed documentation. For families in Bankstown, the firm handles applications, ensuring executors and beneficiaries understand their obligations and rights.
In addition to handling disputes and probate, Heckenberg Lawyers emphasise the importance of proactive estate planning. Many families overlook this step until it’s too late, leading to disputes and uncertainty. The firm assists clients in preparing legally sound wills and comprehensive estate plans that reflect their wishes while minimising the risk of conflict among beneficiaries.
Choosing a family lawyer is about expertise, trust, and accessibility. Heckenberg Lawyers’ philosophy is built on six commitments to every client: listening carefully, providing straightforward legal advice, keeping clients informed, acting in their best interests, maintaining confidentiality, and delivering practical, cost-effective solutions. Unlike many firms where clients are passed from one staff member to another, Heckenberg Lawyers ensures that you always deal directly with a senior lawyer. This consistency builds strong working relationships and allows the lawyer handling your case to understand the details and provide tailored strategies.
We are upfront about costs, avoid unnecessary delays, and communicate in plain English rather than legal jargon. We aim to achieve the best possible outcome and make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Heckenberg Lawyers continues to build a strong reputation as a reliable, client-focused firm.
We are pleased to announce that as of 1 July 2024, Heckenberg Lawyers has merged with Southern Waters Legal Group, an award-winning Sydney legal firm.
This merger represents an exciting opportunity to enhance the quality of our services while maintaining the same high standards of care and professionalism that you have come to expect from our team.
