Guardianship or Grip?

The Legal and Forensic Lens

on Elder Abuse

 

12:00pm AEST on Thursday 9 July 2026

Elder abuse remains one of the most pressing issues in succession and protective law. This webinar examines how abuse manifests, how it can be detected, and the remedies available to safeguard vulnerable individuals.

Our special guest, MaryAnn de Mestre will unpack real-world scenarios of financial exploitation, misuse of powers of attorney, and failures of guardianship systems.

Gain insights into how forensic strategies can be used to trace, recover, and protect misappropriated assets, and how the law can better respond to abuse that is often hidden or ignored.

This webinar is a must see if you want to understand how to identify red flags, pursue remedies, and strengthen protective frameworks — ensuring the rights and dignity of older persons are preserved.

About Tara Lucke

Hi, I’m Tara Lucke, a lawyer with over 15 years experience specialising in estate planning and tax.

I see you - the new wave of estate planning lawyers.  Sole practitioners determined to do estate planning better. Lawyers in small firms who are doing their best to serve their clients with testamentary trusts despite not having access to the resources and depth of expertise of a large CBD firm. I love what you’re doing and I want to support you. 

The Art of Estate Planning is for YOU. You are not alone.  If you want to bounce an idea off me - if you would feel more confident with another set of eyes on a clause - if you need precedents you can rely on.  Your clients deserve high quality TT advice and documents, and you deserve to feel confident and supported while serving them.

What others are saying 

Lana, Lavenia Law

I have been using the art of estate planning will precedents for approximately two years now, and there is definitely no turning back for me.

They have been the best investment that I've made for my business. They are updated on a regular basis and they help me to deliver complex testamentary trust wills to suit the needs of my clients.

The on flow effect of that is that profitability for my business continues to grow.  So there's no hesitation from me to recommend that you jump on the Art of Estate Planning Will Precedents.

Lidia, Vicca Law 

I got the Art of Estate Planning testamentary Trust will precedents package at the beginning of this year, and it's absolutely revolutionized my business. I was finding that I had clients coming to me with more complex problems and I needed to find better and clearer solutions to be able to provide. Since I've gotten the precedents package, I'm finding that it is easier and quicker to do my wills. It's easier to explain to people. They seem to just “get it” because it's so clearly laid out. You're able to change it and modify it depending on the scenario for your clients. And I'm just so thankful that I have it. Tara and her team at the Art of Estate Planning are so helpful and I'm just absolutely loving elevating my wills with the help of the Art of Estate Planning testamentary trusts will precedent pack.

Lauren, Illawarra Estate and Family Law

I opened my sole practice 18 months ago, and when I was setting up, I knew using the Art of Estate Planning testamentary trust precedents, and being a member of the TT Precedents Club were something that would be beneficial to myself and my client. Buying the Art of Estate Planning precedents has been an investment in my firm that I do not regret.  As a member of the TT Precedents Club, when Tara released her Smokeball compatible precedents I received the updated version at no cost. The seamless integration into my practice management software has halved the time I spend preparing documents, allowing me to serve my clients more efficiently. And the Art of Estate Planning Precedents and the TT Precedents Club have made me more confident in delivering testamentary trusts to my clients, and knowing my precedents up to date has reduced a portion of my mental load. I would highly recommend looking into these precedents.
