Greater Springfield Families Urged To Review Wills Amid Rising Property Values

Recently updated

Augustine Heights, QLD – 31 May 2025 – With local real estate values soaring, Brookwater Legal is encouraging residents to prioritise succession planning in Greater Springfield to ensure their property and assets are legally protected. The reminder comes as many families in the area remain unaware of how outdated or missing wills can lead to costly disputes and unintended outcomes.

As the value of homes in Springfield, Ripley, and surrounding areas continues to climb, proper estate planning has never been more critical. According to Brookwater Legal, even modest changes in property portfolios can trigger tax implications or inheritance complexities without up-to-date legal documentation.

“We’re seeing more families purchasing property, investing in renovations, or inheriting assets—yet few are reviewing their wills or power of attorney documents,” said Dale Hooper, Principal at Brookwater Legal and experienced lawyer in Springfield. “If a will was created ten or fifteen years ago, it likely no longer reflects the true value of a person’s estate. This is where professional succession planning can help prevent future legal and financial headaches.”

With many families also relying on dual incomes or operating small businesses, income protection and asset structuring have become essential parts of modern estate plans. Brookwater Legal provides tailored advice to individuals, families, and business owners to ensure their affairs are documented in a legally sound and tax-effective way.

Brookwater Legal has built a strong reputation for personal service, practical legal advice, and community engagement. The firm’s succession and estate planning services are backed by in-depth local knowledge and current legislative insight. For more information on the firm’s services, contact Brookwater Legal.
