Val Antoff

I am an experienced Wills and Estates lawyer and I aim to develop an ongoing relationship with clients, providing efficient and effective legal services which address both their current and future needs.

I hold a Bachelor of Laws degree from the University of New England and was admitted to practice in New South Wales in 2009.

Since I was admitted, I have gained valuable experience working in the areas of estate planning and deceased estates, family law, franchising and general commercial law.

I have advised clients on a wide range of matters relating to their wills and estate planning, including testamentary capacity issues, estate administration matters, complex grant applications and claims under the Family Provision Act and contested probate applications.

I have drafted documents relating to all aspects of estate planning including wills, testamentary trust wills, enduring powers of attorney and guardianship, advanced health directives and a range of trust deeds.

I am also experienced in the administration of deceased estates, such as preparing applications for probate and letters of administration, deeds of family arrangement, deeds of release and estate accounts, trust deeds for infant beneficiaries, transmission / survivorship applications, transfers of land and share transfers.

Through my work with a range of top-tier organizations, I have gained a range of other unique skills, including business and data analysis, quality management and applications development. I am a solutions oriented lawyer who looks for innovations which can improve the service offered to clients.
