3 easy steps before your first appointment

1. Prepare a short summary

Write down what has happened, what you would like help with and the questions you want to ask. A simple timeline can be useful if your matter involves several events, people or documents.

2. Identify relevant documents and dates

Have relevant documents available, such as a will, contract, lease, lender’s request, court document or correspondence. Tell us about any signing date, settlement date or court deadline when you first make contact. Ask which documents to provide and how to send them before forwarding detailed or sensitive material.

3. Discuss scope and costs

Ask about appointment availability, the proposed scope of assistance and applicable fees before deciding how to proceed. The work required will depend on your circumstances and the documents involved.

What to prepare for your type of enquiry

Use the relevant checklist below to organise your questions before you contact us. You do not need to have every document ready to make an initial enquiry. Start with the information you have, tell us what is missing and ask what will be needed for an appointment. These are preparation prompts, not a list of documents that every client must provide.

Wills and planning for the future

Note whether you want to make a new will, review an existing document or discuss an enduring power of attorney or advance care directive. Think about the people you would like to provide for and any questions about the people you would appoint to act for you.

Have existing documents available if you can locate them. A broad outline of your family circumstances and assets can help you organise the discussion. Mention any business interests, trusts, property outside South Australia or upcoming travel that you would like to discuss. Ask which details to provide before the appointment.

Probate and deceased estates

Explain your relationship to the person who has died and whether you are named as an executor, are a beneficiary or are helping a family member. Note whether a will has been located and whether anyone has already applied for a grant or begun administering the estate.

Keep available any will, death certificate or estate correspondence you already hold. An outline of the assets, liabilities and people involved may also help you prepare questions. If there is disagreement or a document refers to a deadline, mention that when you contact us. Ask before sending original documents or a large set of attachments.

Conveyancing and property transfers

Tell us whether you are buying, selling or transferring property, where the property is located and whether a contract has been signed. Note any proposed signing or settlement date and the names of the professionals already involved, such as the agent or lender.

Have the contract and relevant correspondence available, together with a list of the questions you want answered. If the transaction involves a company, trust, deceased estate or several owners, include that context in your summary. You can contact us before all documents arrive; explain which documents are still being prepared and ask about the next step.

Business contracts and commercial leases

Identify the business involved, your role and the agreement you want to discuss. For a lease, note the premises and whether you are the landlord or tenant. For a business transaction, explain whether you are buying, selling or reviewing an existing arrangement.

Keep the latest draft of the contract or lease available and distinguish it from earlier versions. Make a short list of the provisions or commercial issues you want to understand. Tell us about proposed signing dates, negotiations already underway and any other advisers involved. Contact us to check availability and scope before assuming that a document can be reviewed within a particular timeframe.

Solicitor’s certificates and lender documents

Tell us who has requested the certificate, whether you are a borrower or guarantor and the date by which the documents are requested. Have the lender’s instructions and the documents you have received available so you can explain what is being asked of you.

Ask which documents need to be supplied for review, what identification arrangements apply and whether the proposed consultation format is suitable. Do not assume every lender’s documents or appointment requirements are the same. If further documents are expected, mention this when you contact us so the appointment arrangements can be discussed with the full context in mind.

Disputes and retirement village contracts

For a dispute, prepare a short timeline and identify the people or organisations involved. Keep relevant letters, emails and any court documents together. Explain what has happened so far and what you would like help with, including any date mentioned in correspondence.

For a retirement village enquiry, note the village, the documents you have received and any proposed signing or moving date. Write down the provisions or charges you want to discuss. In either case, ask about the scope of advice and the documents needed. You do not need to decide which legal category applies before making an enquiry.

Questions to ask when arranging your appointment

When you contact us to arrange an appointment, ask how it will take place, who should attend and what information to have available. Explain if you would like a support person involved or if you have communication or access needs. This allows you to discuss suitable arrangements rather than make assumptions about what is available.

For a telephone appointment, provide the number on which you would like to be contacted. For a Microsoft Teams consultation, confirm the meeting details and make sure you can access the link on your chosen device. Choose a private place where you can talk and refer to your documents comfortably.

For any appointment, keep a list of your main questions nearby. Ask about the proposed work, the costs and what decisions or information are needed from you. If you need to change the arrangements, contact us using the phone number or email address above. Confirm the revised details directly.
