Securing Your Legacy
At Nelson Keane & Hemingway, we help individuals and families in Narromine and the Central West plan for the future with comprehensive estate and succession advice. We prepare wills, testamentary trusts, and superannuation nominations to ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes and protected for future generations.
A will is one of the most important legal documents you can make. Our solicitors take the time to understand your personal, financial, and family circumstances, providing guidance on taxation, care needs, and asset protection. We ensure every will is structured to minimise disputes and distribute wealth efficiently.
We also prepare testamentary trusts tailored to each client’s needs, providing tax flexibility and asset protection for beneficiaries. These structures can safeguard family property, manage income distribution, and support long-term financial stability.
Your superannuation does not automatically form part of your estate. We advise on binding death benefit nominations to ensure superannuation funds are directed to your chosen beneficiaries. We also represent clients in disputes or appeals involving superannuation fund decisions, including matters before the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA).
For urgent matters, our team can act quickly to draft emergency wills, ensuring that valid instructions are documented and executed in time. We understand the sensitivity of these situations and prioritise immediate, practical assistance when it matters most. Call us on (02) 6682 1433 for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What areas do you service in Narromine?
We proudly service customers seeking our services from all areas in and around Narromine, including Trangie, Minore, Tomingley, Dandaloo, Gin Gin and Eumungerie.
What is a will, and why is it important to have one?
A will is a legal document that outlines how you would like your assets distributed after your death. It also allows you to appoint an executor to carry out your wishes. Having a will is important because it provides clear instructions for the distribution of your estate, helping to avoid disputes among beneficiaries and ensuring that your intentions are followed.
What happens if someone dies without a will in NSW?
If someone dies without a will, their estate is distributed according to NSW intestacy laws. These laws outline a specific order of inheritance, typically prioritising spouses, children and other close relatives. The process may not reflect the deceased’s personal wishes, and it can lead to complications or delays in distributing assets, especially if family disputes arise.
What is an executor, and what are their responsibilities?
An executor is a person appointed in a will to manage the estate of the deceased. Their responsibilities include collecting the deceased’s assets, paying off any debts or taxes and distributing the remaining assets to beneficiaries as directed by the will. Executors may also need to handle legal and financial paperwork, making their role crucial in the estate administration process.
