Alison has a strong background in estate planning and administration of deceased estates and is especially proficient in the preparation of wills, testamentary trusts, enduring powers of attorney and enduring guardianships. Alison can assist with any Probate application and Letters of Administration and talk you through the entire process with empathy, clarity and only a little bit of jargon.
Alison joined us from a larger firm and finds our humbler firm suits her far better (the free parking certainly helps).
Alison entered law because she wanted to help people. She loves solving problems and assisting people in negotiating difficult times in their life, like the loss of a family member.
Although she thought she would never finish her degree, Alison has accomplished a tremendous amount in her 25 year career. She is currently the chair of the Elder Law Committee, has contributed to a submission on why Tasmania should have a Charter for Human Rights and is also a member of the Golden Key International Honour Society for her work on human rights.
When she’s out of office, Alison is a keen and accomplished bushwalker and scuba diver, having conquered most of Tassie’s mountains and dived in waters worldwide (what is it about lawyers and bushwalking!).
