Asset & Wealth Management

Investment Management and Estate Planning

Investment management is the creation and overall care of an investment portfolio. Investment management often includes suggesting an investment strategy, buying and selling investments and managing the portfolio’s asset allocation.

We have a team of financial planners, providing holistic financial advice on topics like cash-flow management, taxes, insurance and estate planning. Others work with high-net-worth clients to address their financial planning and investment management needs, as well as coordinate the services of other professionals, such as lawyers and accountants. This is often referred to as wealth management.

Wealth management offers more areas of expertise, such as estate and tax planning, accounting services and retirement planning in addition to investment management.

Estate and Wills Planning

Wills and estate planning are pivotal to financial independence throughout life, and to protect assets and ensure the execution of financial intentions into the future. With a proper estate plan in place, you can determine matters such as control of your personal and financial affairs if you lose capacity and who should benefit from your estate upon your death.  A proper estate plan will also take into account the financial implications of death including tax on superannuation and capital gains.

We create custom designed estate planning solutions to suit each client’s position, objectives and preferences through the preparation of a comprehensive estate and business succession plan.  We will be there every step of the way, applying our thorough understanding of the law in relation to wills, trusts, powers of attorney, guardianship, tax and superannuation.

When a person dies, we act for executors to obtain a grant of probate or for administrators to obtain a grant on intestacy (when the deceased didn’t have a will).  If the deceased had assets overseas, we can assist with either resealing the grant or obtaining a fresh grant in Australia.  We also act in uncommon matters, such as when the executor has lost capacity or died, or when the will does not distribute the whole estate and there is a partial intestacy.

Our team has experience in advising on and resolving disputed estates (including disputes between trustees and beneficiaries regarding the conduct of trust affairs), disputes about the interpretation of wills, and acting in family provision matters where a party seeks additional benefit from an estate.

Winding Up of Companies

Winding up is a process whereby the existence of a company is brought to an end, and assets of the company will be collected and realised. The collected proceeds will be used to discharge all the company’s debts and liabilities, while the remaining balance will be distributed amongst the contributories according to their entitlement.

There are 2 options of winding up:

  • Voluntary winding up;
  • Compulsory winding up.

Voluntary Winding Up

Voluntary winding is divided into 2 categories:

  • Members’ voluntary winding up (MVWU) is the process a solvent company used to shut down their business and the proceeds of sale go to the shareholders.
  • Creditors’ voluntary winding up (CVWU) is the process an insolvent company used to prevent compulsory winding up of its company, and the cash realised from the sale of assets return to creditors as dividend.

Both forms of winding up are undertaken voluntarily by directors who hold meeting with shareholders and creditors to put forth the company’s financial position, and seek the relevant resolution to wind up the company. A liquidator will be appointed by the company to take charge of the whole process of winding up, in which our company is providing this service and consultancy as well.

Compulsory Winding Up

Compulsory winding up is also known as winding up by Court. The process begins with the presentation of a petition up at Court, where petitioners include creditors, liquidator, the Registrar of companies or the Official Receiver. If a winding-up order is made, the Court will appoint a liquidator to oversee the liquidation process. Any disposition of property after the commencement of winding up is void unless the Court orders otherwise.
