Serving Caboolture
Caboolture conveyancing, wills and elder law
Caboolture, Caboolture South and the surrounding acreage. We act on fixed fees for buyers, sellers, executors and families planning ahead.
Caboolture covers everything from compact estate housing to older town blocks and rural-residential land toward the hinterland. Each needs a different search strategy, and we tell you which searches actually matter for your property rather than ordering a standard bundle.
Flood history is a genuine issue in parts of Caboolture. A flood search, and where relevant a flood level certificate, should be obtained before the cooling-off period ends — insurers and lenders both price on it.
Our estates practice is busy here: probate and letters of administration, transferring the family home, executor advice and, increasingly, contested estate claims where a family member has been left out or provided for inadequately.
What we watch for in Caboolture
Flood searches
Caboolture River flooding affects specific pockets. We obtain the council information and explain what it means for insurance and resale.
Rural-residential land
Water, sewerage, access easements, shed approvals and overlays all need checking on larger blocks.
Deceased estates
We handle probate, letters of administration, property transmission and estate sales, and advise executors on their obligations.

Local questions
How long does probate take in Queensland?
After the required advertising and notice period, a straightforward application is usually granted within a few months, though the Supreme Court's workload varies. Administering and distributing the estate then takes longer, and executors should generally not distribute before six months from the grant.
Do you have an office in the Moreton Bay area?
Yes. Our peninsula office is at 15 Fortune Street, Scarborough QLD 4020, seen by appointment, alongside our Sunshine Coast office at 40 Theresa Street, Golden Beach. Most Moreton Bay matters are run electronically, but you are welcome to sit down with us at Scarborough.
What are your fixed fees?
Residential sales are $990 inclusive of GST and residential purchases are $1,499 inclusive of GST. Searches, registration and government fees are additional and we set them out in writing before you commit.
Can you prepare my will and enduring power of attorney at the same time?
Yes, and it is usually the sensible time to do it. Buying, selling or downsizing changes what your estate holds, so we review your will, enduring power of attorney and advance health directive alongside the conveyance.
