Professionals

de Groots has an exclusive focus on Succession Law and is a recognised specialist in the area of law both nationally and internationally. 

Our lawyers, including four Succession Law accredited specialists, work with other law firms, accountants, financial planners, trust companies and professional service firms to provide partnering and support services, enabling these professionals to ensure the needs of their clients are serviced to the highest professional standards. We build a customised relationship with each individual relationship partner as suits their needs.

By partnering, de Groots can:

• support your clients' needs,
• add value to the service you currently provide,
• enter into a protocol for referral of clients from your firm,
• engage in training of staff through seminars,
• add value to your service by providing briefings to your clients,
• provide client educational material including DVDs and information sheets,
• provide updates for your staff on recent developments and Red Alert checklists, so they are up to date on issues affecting their clients' needs.

de Groots Support Services provide assistance through specialised advice for our clients' particular needs, including:

• drafting estate planning documents
• advising on appropriate structuring for asset protection
• business succession
• family wealth transfer and drafting appropriate documents
• advice on the construction of wills and related documents
• drafting documents to obtain grants of probate/administration
• attending to the administration of the deceased estate
• advice in respect of estate disputes and undertaking
• litigation/negotiation/resolution of the disputes
• mediation services with Dr John de Groot

de Groots can be in direct contact with your client if you choose, or where appropriate, can work "in the background" to provide advice and services to your firm without contact with your client.  Our specialist services enable de Groots to give you and your clients the highest standard of expertise in the area of Succession Law. de Groots can guarantee that we only act for your client in respect to Succession Law, as we do not handle any other fields of law.  When other work is required, for example, a conveyance in the course of an estate administration, we outsource it.
