At Butler McDermott Lawyers, we pride ourselves on offering legal services with genuine care, compassion, and attention to detail. Mackenzie, one of our valued team members, brings all of these qualities to his work in the vital area of Wills and Estates.
A Passion for Helping Clients Plan Ahead
Mackenzie began his legal journey at the University of the Sunshine Coast in 2017. From early in his studies, he was drawn to areas of law that have a meaningful impact on people’s lives. He found his niche in Wills and Estates because it allows his to help clients make thoughtful decisions about their future, their families, and their legacy.
While some may see estate planning as something to put off until later, Mackenzie believes it’s one of the most important steps an individual can take. For his, it’s about more than just documents, it’s about empowering people to have their voices heard, even after they’re gone.
“Wills and Estates is such an integral, yet often forgotten, area of law. It gives clients peace of mind knowing their wishes are properly documented, so their loved ones don’t face unnecessary stress or uncertainty.”
Bringing Clarity and Calm to Complex Situations
Mackenzie understands that discussing what will happen to one’s possessions after passing can feel daunting. He approaches each conversation with sensitivity, creating a comfortable space where clients can speak openly about their wishes.
One of the biggest challenges in this area is managing expectations. While a Will is a powerful way to set out your intentions, it cannot always remove the risk of challenges to your estate. Mackenzie carefully explains these possibilities so clients are fully informed and can plan in the most protective way possible.
By simplifying complex legal concepts and addressing concerns with empathy, he ensures clients feel supported every step of the way.
Delivering Peace of Mind
For Mackenzie, the most rewarding part of his work is knowing that clients leave feeling reassured. Whether it’s ensuring treasured possessions go to the right people or setting out clear instructions for the future, he takes pride in enabling clients’ wishes to be fulfilled.
“It’s incredibly fulfilling to give people the confidence that, should something happen, their plans will be respected and their loved ones cared for.”
A Personalised Approach That Makes a Difference
What sets Butler McDermott Lawyers apart is the time we take to truly understand each client’s unique circumstances. Mackenzie knows that no two families or estates are the same. Whether meeting clients in the office or visiting them in the comfort of their own homes, he ensures they feel heard and valued.
Our team believes in providing a personalised, compassionate approach. It’s not just about drafting legal documents – it’s about creating lasting peace of mind.
