The Best Possible Wills & Estates for Approved Providers 2023

Are you ready if the proverbial happens? What will happen to your early childhood education and care service? Will your intentions be legally and truly be implemented?

After years/decades of building your ECEC service’s successes, ensuring your legacy’s transition is not only important for your educators, teachers, staff and children, it is also important to your spouse/partner, family and heirs.

  • Do you need to assemble all your domestic and foreign assets into a legal estate?

  • How to anticipate and protect your heirs’ inheritances from local and overseas risks?
  • Will there be regulatory considerations to ensure service continuity?
