with firms in New Plymouth and the Kapiti Coast. Her principal
areas of practice are estate planning, trusts, relationship
property and estate management.
A
specialist in trust law, Mary Joy regularly reviews and provides
advice on personal asset management plans. She regularly undertakes
complex restructuring, including variation and resettlement of
existing structures to ensure they are workable and durable for the
future.
Changes in the Property (Relationships) Act 1976
and increasing attacks on trusts mean that the personal
circumstances of clients need to be carefully considered when
structuring an asset management plan. Mary Joy enjoys building a
strategy that will best meet her clients' individual needs.
Mary Joy's experience in the area of family law means she can
appreciate family dynamics and manage them with sensitivity.
Her sound knowledge of and experience in wills and succession
means Mary Joy is often asked to speak at seminars for Lexis Nexis,
and she is a member of the Society of Trust and Estate Planning
Professionals.
Mary Joy also regularly advises charitable
organisations on legal and structuring issues.
Relationships
are important to Mary Joy who enjoys catching up with old friends
and building new friendships. She applies these skills to her
practice and aims to be the kind of legal professional her clients
can relate to, developing strong and trusted client relationships.
