You start your construction project with happiness and enthusiasm, but as soon as the project commences, you are burdened with construction issues or will disputes that can throw your life completely off balance. You might be stuck with a building project because of unclear contract terms or delays by your contractor. Perhaps your family is divided over a will, leaving you worried about what happens next. That’s where we can help!
At Michael Atkinson & Associates, we’ve spent over 40 years helping people in Richmond and nearby areas like North Richmond, Hobartville, Agnes Banks, and Windsor Downs cope with these challenges.
Poor Workmanship and Delays In Project
Things are going well, but suddenly, you are faced with delays and poor workmanship. An otherwise successful project is now on the verge of failure.
Are you facing the same problem in your building and construction work? We’re here to help!
After dealing with many cases like yours, we know the ins and outs of building and construction disputes. After booking your consultation, we will review your case, advice you accordingly, or take action on your behalf. We help negotiate directly with the contractor, take formal legal action, or apply to a tribunal.
Estate Planning That Works
A will is just one part of planning your estate. You also want to make sure everything is organised in a way that suits you and your family. Michael Atkinson & Associates drafts plans honouring your wishes and address issues like tax implications, guardianship for minors, and trusts. Ultimately, our goal is to prevent unnecessary family disputes and stress.
Family Disputes Over Wills
When loved ones are involved, disputes can become emotionally and mentally draining. Perhaps you feel left out of a will or suspect something is wrong, such as undue influence or inadequate oversight. You might also face pushback as an executor trying to fulfil a will. In both cases, our team will help you honour the deceased’s wishes and protect your rights.
Making Probate Simple for Executors
When you’re named executor, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed by the legal responsibilities, such as validating the will and distributing assets. Because mistakes can have lasting consequences, we are here to walk you through the process step-by-step. Our team’s goal is to make probate as seamless as possible so that you can focus on getting everything done correctly.

Creating a will is the most significant step in protecting your wishes and your family’s rights. Because without a will, your assets may be distributed according to state laws rather than your personal wishes, causing massive disputes among family members.
