New counsel to head wills and estates team

AINSLEY Savage (pictured) has joined leading Toowoomba legal firm Creevey Russell as special counsel to lead the firm’s wills and estates team.

Creevey Russell principal Dan Creevey said Ms Savage has almost 10 years’ experience in estate planning, estate administration and estate litigation.

“Ainsley has always been intrigued by life’s big moments and helping people navigate both happy and more challenging times,” Mr Creevey said.

“Ainsley works with clients to clarify and define their objectives and desired outcomes, taking time to explain and guide each client through all stages of estate planning to produce documentation that both achieves client’s objectives and also protects against the risk of future claims and disputes against their estates.

“Ainsley is also an experienced estate litigator capable of acting quickly and decisively to protect client’s rights.

“She also has a history as a litigation guardian, and has been appointed to act for children or adults with reduced capacity in litigation matters to protect their interest in an estate.”

Ms Savage said she was delighted to be leading the wills and estate team at Creevey Russell Lawyers and will be based primarily in the Toowoomba and Brisbane offices but will regularly attend the firm’s Roma office.

“I am very excited about the opportunities with Creevey Russell Lawyers and to work with our clients to achieve successful outcomes,” she said.

“In my experience, estate planning is critical for everybody but particularly for those who have spent a lifetime working on the land and have specific plans for the way their assets should pass.”
