Assets, liabilities and waste

Property can also includes liabilities, such as mortgages, credit card debts, tax liabilities, and HELP/HECS debts.

What do our clients have to say?
Aaron Ball went above and beyond to help me during the stressful time of a messy divorce. I found him very helpful and patient and I was very thankful to have him on my side. With his unfailing support over several months he helped me to secure a brighter future.
— Michael A.
Aaron handled our family law case and was amazing throughout the whole process. His professionalism and support through such a difficult time helped us so much. His advice was always accurate and very proactive to help us get the result we needed throughout a very traumatic time within our lives.
— Natalie D.
Had used Aaron's services for a legal matter and found him to be very genuine and took the time to understand what I was after. He also took the time to make sure that I understood my options and potential outcomes. I have recommended Aarons services to other friends who after comparing them to other lawyers picked Aaron.
— Andrew M.
Aaron and Teena were both super helpful. Aaron did mine and hubby's will and POA for us. We have 3 young kids and a company which we both work for so we wanted someone to give guidance in relation to that in our will. He made it actually quite straight forward despite me putting it off for 12 months overthinking it. It turned out to be much easier than I imagined. I've since referred other people to Shorestone Legal and they've been very happy too.

Aaron Ball of Shorestone Legal has supported me through challenging DV and Family Law matters. Aaron’s compassion and professionalism meant I felt comfortable sharing my story and trusting him to look out for the best interests of my son and me. Aaron’s calm, considered approach and attention to detail helped diffuse a number of situations (with OP) that arose along the way, and he was able to navigate us efficiently through the whole process. I would have been lost without Aaron’s clear and concise legal advice. I highly recommend Aaron Ball, Shorestone Legal, to anyone needing legal counsel in the family, parenting, property, DV or other areas.
— Amy R
Aaron provided me with legal representation over the past year regarding an estate matter. He is professional, thorough & gives clear, comprehensive advice. The matter was resolved with a desirable outcome in large part thanks to his excellent representation. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking legal assistance.

Having a will drawn up without proper legal advice is dangerous. Having no will at all can be even worse. There may be serious ramifications for you and your family if your will is drafted without proper consideration of your unique circumstances. Click below for more information about wills.
