Toowoomba lawyer receives national recognition for her work

A Toowoomba lawyer has found the root of most people not making wills is people find it an uncomfortable process, and she aims to remove the stress entirely from her clients.

A Toowoomba lawyer who is on a mission to encourage people of all ages to prioritise safeguarding their families’ assets prior to death has been nominated for the Australasian Law Awards.

Adele Anthony, owner and founder of Your Legacy Lawyer has been nominated in the categories of Boutique Firm of the Year and Law Firm Leader of the Year.

Ms Anthony specialises in wills and estate planning, and has found the root of most people not making wills is people find it an uncomfortable process, and she aims to remove the stress entirely from her clients.

Adele Anthony, owner and founder of Your Legacy Lawyer has been nominated for the Australasian Law Awards.

“I aim to make having an estate plan affordable, accessible and the process simple, so the reasons for not having a will are no longer there,” she said.

“Without an estate plan, people have no say as to the distribution of their estate after their death or who takes control of managing their affairs.

“Dying without a will means that the distribution of their estate will be made to their relatives using a legal formula which may not be what they would have wanted.

“Making a will ensures that their estate is dealt with in accordance with their wishes, someone they trust carries out their wishes, their family knows what they want, their loved ones can finalise their affairs without the need for costly processes.

“I visit my clients where they want to be visited and I have little overheads so I’m able to make my services fixed-fee.

Adele Anthony, owner and founder of Your Legacy Lawyer has been nominated for the Australasian Law Awards.

“I also offer evening and weekend appointments to make it easier for my clients. I take them step by step through the process without the use of legal jargon.”

With a holistic approach to business and law, nearly 40 years of experience and an award-winning resume, Ms Anthony is looking forward to the awards.

“It is a privilege to be nominated by my clients and peers,” she said.

“I am just excited to continue offering legal services to the Toowoomba region, anything above that is a bonus.”
