What we handle

Property, wills and family

The matters most people need a lawyer for, handled by someone who will still be here next year.

Property and conveyancing

Buying, selling or refinancing, sale and purchase agreements checked before you sign, and settlement handled start to finish.

Ask about property

Wills and estates

Wills, enduring powers of attorney and estate administration, written in language your family will actually understand.

Family law

Separation, relationship property and care arrangements, with an early honest view on where you stand before things get costly.

The Cathcart Law meeting room
About the firm

Three lawyers, one office, no jargon

Cathcart Law was started by Diane Cathcart in 1994 and is now run with her son Liam and Priya Nair. All three of us front our own files, so the person you meet is the person who does the work.

We would rather spend twenty minutes explaining your options for free than have you find out the hard way what a clause meant.

What it costs

Fixed fees for property and wills, agreed in writing before we start. Family law is billed hourly with an estimate given up front.

Wills from $350, conveyancing from $1,450

First meetings run thirty minutes and there is no charge for a straightforward question.
