About Us
Wills and Estates Lawyers in Berwick
Your Wills and Estates lawyer in Berwick
Why Berwick Wills & Estates exists
We started this practice for a simple reason: to help individuals and families make confident, informed decisions about their future, or the affairs of someone they love.
That might mean putting the right steps in place so your affairs are managed properly if you pass away or lose the capacity to make decisions for yourself. It might mean guiding you through the legal process after the death of a family member. Or it might mean resolving an issue where a loved one failed to plan, or where the plans they made are being challenged or fall short.
Whatever brings you to us, our role is the same. We work as your decision-making partner from start to finish, and we stay reachable the whole way through.

Her personable and approachable manner means she listens — because delivering effective advice starts with understanding you.

Outside of work, Diana is happily married with a family. On the weekend, you will find them walking their two cocker spaniels, Kate and Colin. The family has resided in the heart of Berwick for over 16 years. It is truly their happy place.
How we practise
Depth in one area of law
Wills and estates is complex, so we have made a deliberate choice to stay in our lane. By practising exclusively in this area, we bring genuine depth of experience across both planning and disputes. Your matter benefits from focused, informed, and practical expertise.
Education-led service
We do not hand you documents and send you on your way. We sit down with you, listen properly, explain your options in plain language, and help you choose the appropriate path for your circumstances and goals.
Quality outcomes first
We take the time and effort necessary to put the right measures in place. Our approach may not be the cheapest upfront, but it typically reduces the risk of disputes, invalid or ineffective documents, and additional costs down the track.
The people we help
The people we help
Our clients come from Berwick, Beaconsfield, Beaconsfield Upper, Narre Warren and surrounding areas. Many are professionals, business owners or tradies who have built up assets over time, including property, superannuation, and business or family trust structures, and want their planning to reflect that.
Others come to us at a harder moment, after a loss or in the middle of a family dispute. Either way, you will get the same thing: a lawyer who listens, explains, and delivers robust and appropriate solutions.
And if your matter falls outside our expertise, we will not leave you without options. We will guide you to a trusted professional who can assist.
