Dakin Law Services
Conveyancing
Buying or selling property should not be overwhelming. Dakin Law offers a fixed legal fee for conveyancing, giving you clarity from the start.
The only variable costs involve government and search fees – no hidden surprises.
Our conveyancing team ensures a smooth transaction with professional guidance from pre-purchase inspections to settlement.
Court Appearances
Whether it is a traffic matter involving drink driving, criminal charges, or a civil dispute, Dakin Law will guide you through the court process and fight for the best available outcome. We offer affordable fixed fees for the entirety of your matter.
We appear in all Courts within the Northern Rivers and can guide you through proceedings in the Local Court, District Court and Supreme Court.
Wills, Probate, Powers of Attorney & Enduring Guardian
Estate planning is essential, especially with blended families and evolving expectations of entitlement. Our firm ensures your wishes are clear and legally sound, so your loved ones are cared for as intended.
We prepare:
- Wills
- Powers of Attorney
- Enduring Guardian Appointments
- Corporate Powers of Attorney (for clients operating via Pty Ltd companies)
A single document can prevent unnecessary stress, cost, and disruption for your family or business in the event of incapacity.
In addition to assisting with planning, we also provide comprehensive estate administration services. If you have recently experienced that loss a loved one, we can help you:
- Explain the next steps and determine whether Probate or Letters of Administration are required
- Preparing and filing an application for Probate of the Will or Letters of Administration where there is no Will
- Assist in distributing the estate
- NO upfront payments. Pay nothing until the estate is settled
We understand that life doesn’t always allow you to come to us, which is why our solicitors offer home, hospital, and nursing home appointments at no extra travel charge.
We offer fixed fees for these matters and can lodge probate applications quickly to minimise delay and stress during an already difficult time.
Family Law
Family matters are sensitive and require compassionate yet firm representation. Dakin Law prioritises resolution through agreement wherever possible to reduce emotional and financial strain.
We assist with:
- Parenting and ‘custody’ disputes
- Property settlements dealing with the division of property after separation

Our team offers practical, informed guidance on how to seek a fair outcome.
