Debt RecoveryIf you or your business is getting nowhere chasing a debt, Davoren Associates can help to recover your money.In some instances, a demand letter from our firm will encourage payment, at a minimal cost to you. The earlier you begin to pursue the debt, the better chance you have of recovery. In other cases, where a stubborn debtor is involved, we have extensive experience in all Queensland Courts to enforce payment to you. It is important that you retain all documents evidencing the debt, and that you pinpoint who your debtor is, ie. an individual, business or company, so that recovery efforts can be expedient.
Wills and EstatesIt is most important to you, and your family, that you have a current Will.With a Will in place, your assets will pass to those family members and friends that you intend to benefit. You can nominate a Trustee to administer your affairs, a Guardian to take care of any infant children, and give your personal effects and family heirlooms to loved ones upon your death. You can also nominate your burial or cremation wishes. Without a legal Will, you Estate is managed according to the Successions Act, and your personal wishes, in most cases, will not be met. Having a legal Will also assists your family, who will know exactly what your wishes are, easing the burden on them during their difficult time. Most Wills are relatively simple to prepare and incur only a small fee from us. More extensive Wills can be prepared including Testamentary Trusts, Estate planning and Tax minimisation in large estates. Managing the Estate of a deceased family member can be harrowing.
