MAKE A REAL IMPACT BY HELPING FULFIL LAST WISHES AND NAVIGATE GRIEF AND LOSS FOR FAMILIES

Wills and estates has rapidly become a large area of practice in part due to the aging population in Australia. Wills and estates lawyers support clients by providing objective opinions on how they should dispose of their assets. It’s an important area of practice that calls for a thorough understanding of the law. Want to thrive in this specialisation? You will need to be a strong communicator, a problem solver and a forward thinker.

With a Master of Laws (Applied Law) majoring in Wills and Estates you will deepen your expertise substantially – and truly set yourself apart as an industry expert while learning practical skills to manage the everyday issues you are likely to encounter as a wills and estates practitioner.

To complete this award, you must choose:

  • 3 WEP subjects
  • 4 elective subjects or a second major (a popular option is Estate Planning as a second major)
  • Capstone project in Wills and Estates

The College of Law is an Accredited Education Partner of STEP, the worldwide professional association for practitioners dealing with family inheritance and succession planning. One subject in either the Wills and Estates major or Estate Planning major, gives you 30 Diploma Level credits towards STEP membership.
