Hobart Wills Lawyer for Mandarin Speaking Clients
Chinese families in Tasmania often hold assets across borders: property in Hobart, savings in mainland China, an apartment in Hong Kong, superannuation in Australia. A single Australian will rarely protects all of them. Sun Lawyers prepares Tasmanian wills, powers of attorney and cross border estate plans in Mandarin, Cantonese and English.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a separate will for my assets in China?
Sometimes. Chinese succession law and land ownership rules can conflict with a foreign will, so a separate Chinese will may reduce delay and cost for your family. We advise on structure and refer to a mainland lawyer where appropriate.
Can I sign my Hobart will from Sydney or overseas?
Yes. We arrange remote video witnessing where the law permits, or courier documents to you for signing with a local witness. We confirm the exact witnessing formalities in writing.
How much does a Tasmanian will cost?
We quote a fixed fee upfront based on complexity, whether trusts or cross border assets are involved, and how many documents you need. Simple singles wills are inexpensive; blended families and offshore assets cost more.
What happens if I die without a will in Tasmania?
Tasmanian intestacy rules decide who inherits, which often does not match your wishes, particularly for blended families or overseas relatives. A short properly drafted will prevents this.
