DELIVERING A FRIENDLY & PROFESSIONAL SERVICE TO GIVE YOU A PERSONALISED ESTATE PLANNING EXPERIENCE BY EXCEEDING YOUR EXPECTATIONS IN EACH AND EVERY INTERACTION

Donnelle is an experienced estates lawyer with accounting and finance qualifications. She graduated in 2007 with first class honours from Murdoch University. Donnelle is admitted to the Supreme Courts of WA and NSW, the Federal and High Courts of Australia.

During her years in private legal practice, she advised high net worth clients in relation to tax, business structuring, property and transaction based deals. The businesses and deals were well planned but the people involved often lacked the time to have their personal estate plans prepared resulting in disastrous outcomes for families and businesses.

Donnelle joined NAB Private Wealth in 2011 as a Senior Associate to provide clients with specialised estate planning services. She is an active member of the legal profession and her local community. 

In 2015 Donnelle welcomed baby Ashton into her family and the timing was right to start her own business, Estate Partners. Donnelle is grateful for the support of her past clients and legal, banking, accounting and financial planning professionals throughout Perth.

Testimonials

I was most fortunate and grateful to recently be introduced to Donnelle to help me complete a new will. As a parent, daughter and sister, this task comes with emotive decisions to be made. Donnelle’s high level of professionalism, legal knowledge and advice, sensitivity and empathy was much appreciated and made the process simple and easy to understand. Everything was clearly explained to me with acute awareness of the sensitive nature of some of the topics specific to my personal situation. Donnelle is a pleasure to be around and went out of her way to fit in with my schedule and I would highly recommend her services.

My wife and I were recently recommended to consult Donnelle for our estate planning by our financial planner. Our personal circumstances had changed with the birth of our second child and as parents we felt the responsibility of protecting our children’s financial security.

We have had wills done previously; however, Donnelle’s service was different. She assessed our situation at the first meeting and structured the will to suit our circumstance.  She explained the rationale behind the way our will was structured and we were then given the opportunity to review the draft. Another meeting was then scheduled to answer any questions we had before our will was finalised. I found the whole process very efficient and thorough. Donnelle is very knowledgeable in estate planning and explains things clearly and patiently. I would definitely recommend Donnelle to anyone looking for estate planning advice.
