We can assist you with a variety of legal matters

Our Lawyers can assist you with a wide range of issues. Our team has extensive experience in a wide range of legal fields. These are some examples:

Probate & Contesting a Will

Beneficiaries may require access to their inheritance, necessitating the necessity for probate. Probate is a unique legal proceeding that necessitates your undivided attention. The estate experts at Stratus Legal Group can assist you in obtaining probate as well as administering the estate, making life easier for you.

Estate Planning & Wills

It's critical to consider how and to whom you wish to leave your estate. Those you care about may face difficulties as a result of your legacy. Consider their social security benefits, tax difficulties, beneficiaries' susceptibility, and whether or not your estate will be contested. Stratus Legal Group will provide you with sound legal advice and help you create an estate plan.

Conveyancing & Property Law

Real Estate and Property Law is a complicated field of law that involves a variety of legal procedures. Whether you're transferring ownership, subdividing, buying, or selling a home, our experts can lead you through the process from beginning to end, ensuring you get the best possible outcome.

Commercial & Business Law

Stratus Legal Group can assist you with everything from starting, buying, or selling a business to preparing commercial contracts. Instead of moulding your situation to a precedent, we customise our service to your specific goals and objectives, assessing all hazards along the route.

Family Law

Let our team take away the 'what ifs' and allow you to focus on taking the first steps in your new life. Guiding you through your separation, giving you peace of mind at every step. We cannot change the past, but we can help you move to your future.

Immigration Law

Strict time limits and no room for error, making sure your first application for your Visa counts. Whether you are applying for a student visa, spouse visa, work visa or entrepreneur visa, it is critical you get it right the first time.

A Smarter, Flexible Way to Fund Your Legal Matter

We understand that navigating a separation, relationship property matter, or managing a deceased estate can bring financial challenges that make accessing legal support difficult. That’s why we’ve partnered with JustFund – Australia’s only dedicated provider of flexible funding solutions for family law and estate administration. Eligible clients can access a line of credit to cover legal fees and related expenses, with no repayments required until settlement or probate is finalised. This helps ease financial pressure while ensuring you can focus on what matters most. Contact us for more information or visit JustFund.com.au.
