Thank you Anthea for helping us to sort through our estate planning. It wasn't an easy task for us but you asked all the relevant questions and we now feel confident of what we have put in place. It is such a relief to know we have it all sorted now and that would not have been possible without your expertise, flexibility and continuous follow up. It was an absolute pleasure working with you and we can not recommend you enough.

Anthea is amazing. A consummate professional yet so personable and accommodating. She took time to understand our situation and after thorough consideration outlined options that we were previously unaware of but were a great fit. She delivered everything as promised and went above and beyond. Can not recommend enough!

This was a task that we had been needing to complete for years but never managed to finalise. Thankfully once we got down to task, Anthea made it an efficient and easy process. She always had our best interests at heart and went above and beyond what was required to help us get everything in order. We would highly recommend her services.

We recently engaged Anthea McIntyre from McIntyre Legal to draw up our wills. From the first point of contact we were incredibly impressed with Anthea. She is a consummate professional whose knowledge of testamentary law and attention to detail are extraordinary, and also very reassuring. She will always go the extra mile to ensure that every tiny detail is taken care of in terms of her professional duties, yet somehow manages to be amazingly warm and friendly at the same time. She went out of her way to be obliging and helpful and to ensure that, at all times, we understood the process, language and details which can of course be baffling on occasion for people with no legal background. She was also very successful in referring us to other legal professionals outside her area of expertise whom we wished to consult on unrelated matters. Her commitment to her professional role and to the task in hand is second to none and we would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her services to anyone venturing into the sometimes sensitive territory of making a will.

Anthea was very thorough and pleasant to deal with in the planning of our wills and estate documents. She was also able to come to us, which made it so much easier with two young kids. Highly recommend her!

Anthea is extremely experienced and specialises in wills and estate planning. She knows her stuff inside and out and there wasn't a question that she couldn't answer. She is thorough, patient and diligent and she explained everything to us in a way that was easy for a non lawyer to understand. Anthea is very efficient and proactive and turned our wills around very quickly. She is a parent herself and was very accommodating if I ever needed to bring our two young daughters to an appointment. Thank you Anthea for all of your help!

My husband and I utilised the services of Anthea McIntyre for the preparation and execution of our Wills. Anthea’s work and knowledge was of the highest quality. We felt very comfortable entrusting her with our Wills and would have no hesitation recommending her in the future.

Anthea made things so easy for us, for what is a topic and a process that none of us really want to do!
We met her at a cafe that was convenient for all and had a quick chat and filled in some simple forms, and then voila! Not long later she came to our home to have everything signed and witnessed. She also worked with our Financial Planner behind the scenes to make sure the binding nominations in our Superannuation would be consistent with our Wills.
Highly recommended for great service and expertise.

Anthea provides a very thorough, personal service. A very welcome contrast to a previous experience with a larger firm.

I was very anxious about the creation of a detailed will and in particular testamentary trusts however Anthea really made the entire process very easy for me to understand. Her knowledge is excellent, she is flexible, a perfectionist and has a high attention to detail; all the strengths you want in a solicitor. She asks a lot of questions so that your documents truly reflect your wishes. Thanks for your professional yet personal attention Anthea.

Recently I engaged the services of Anthea McIntyre (McIntyre Legal) to assist in preparing my WILL which was personally quite daunting and complex. Anthea was able to advise, explain and provide options that were easy to understand from a non legal background. The process itself was extremely user friendly and stress free. I would not hesitate in recommending Anthea McIntyre to any person requiring her legal services. She is professional, well informed and very ethical. I also found her services to be very cost effective and she went ‘the extra mile’ to ensure my peace of mind.

Anthea is a talented lawyer and has been great to deal with. Arranging guardianship of our children and estate planning was an overwhelming task, Anthea was able to clearly explain the legal process and drafted our wills to reflect our wishes and secure our desired future for our children should the worst happen. We have young children and both work which makes it difficult for us to arrange to meet a lawyer during normal working hours, Anthea was incredibly flexible and was able to accommodate our timing difficulties with evening appointments and never hesitated to pick up the phone to explain any queries we may have had. We are happy to recommend Anthea without reservation.

Anthea was fantastic! She made us feel at ease instantly when discussing our options for Wills, which is a very personal subject. She is an expert in her field with a strong ability to translate anything technical so it is easy for the average person to understand! She took the time to explain all the details and provided supporting documents for us to refer to. She was open to any questions, no question was a stupid one! Anthea also was happy for us to call her in between our meetings with questions at no extra charge. She was very professional, providing all documentation and information in a timely manner. I highly recommend Anthea, she took all the stress and complication out of building our Wills and I feel reassured we now have everything in place should the worst happen. Thank you Anthea.

Anthea was professional and flexible and above all, she was strongly committed to providing us with the best possible service based on her detailed knowledge of the law of wills and estates. She took the time to listen to our needs and provided well thought out and detailed advice. Meeting with Anthea in our home was convenient and relaxing for us and made us feel very comfortable with her. I would highly recommend Anthea and her team from McIntyre Legal.

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of meeting Anthea from McIntrye Legal. She was absolutely fantastic. At the time we didn't have Wills, Powers of Attorney or Enduring Guardian documents and were keen to ensure that our children would be looked after in the event of unforeseen circumstances. Anthea was fantastic. She visited our home at night, was friendly, professional and well-priced. We found her assistance invaluable. We would definitely recommend Anthea McIntyre and look forward to working with her in the future.

After having my first baby, updating my will had been in the "to do" basket. It had actually been in the "to do" basket for a few years but it wasn't until someone handed me a name and a number and said she is amazing. That's what I need to hear, a personal reference to someone I could trust. When I first called Anthea she scheduled our appointment during my little girls sleep time and came to my house, as a mum herself I think she understood that bringing a 10 month old to an office for an hour might not be an ideal work space for anyone involved. Anthea explained everything to me in a way I would understand and the entire process of preparing a Will, Enduring Power of Attorney and Enduring Guardian Appointment was far less traumatic than I had ever experienced. The whole process was so simple and when it came time to having signatures by myself and my witnesses once again she came to my house. I could not speak more highly of Anthea and felt so at ease and now so secure in my future for myself and my little girl.

As a mother of a four year old and two year old, writing a will was something that had been on my to-do list for quite a while! The trouble was, I just didn't even know how to get started on it, let alone how I would spend hours with a city lawyer with no relatives in Sydney to care for my kids. I found Anthea via a recommendation on the North Shore Mum's Facebook group and gosh am I glad I did! Anthea took all the effort out of the seemingly impossible task. She came to our home while my husband was home from work and our kids were in bed and we nutted it all out in a single evening! Anthea was very knowledgeable and made us think about areas we wouldn't have otherwise considered. She quickly made sense of made our international backgrounds and extended family situations and everything was covered thoroughly. We also completed enduring power of attorney and enduring guardian documents which were subsequently signed by our relative family members with Anthea when then they next visited us in Sydney. Nothing was too much trouble for Anthea and we are so pleased that we got in touch with her and that we now finally have all our paperwork in order if and when we need it most. I have no hesitation in recommending Anthea to you, I'm sure you will be as pleased with her work as we are.

My husband and I recently engaged Anthea McIntyre from MyIntrye Legal to put together our wills. WOW! What an amazing; personal, yet entirely professional experience. Anthea is meticulous with every detail and is clearly passionate about ensuring you, and your family, are protected. However, beyond this professionalism she also brought with her compassion and empathy that made making these decisions and having these tough conversations considerably less difficult. I cannot recommend Anthea more highly and would encourage anyone to speak with her about the importance of a Will and having it done correctly. Her passion, knowledge and ability to articulate the complexity of this matter clearly is so refreshing and she is a delight to deal with, from start to finish.

Hi Anthea, I just want to say thank you for your help so far. You are very professional, on the ball and quick to respond, which is a refreshing surprise as I’ve left several messages for two other lawyers that I have referred clients to before reaching out to [another lawyer] in frustration [who then recommended you]. You obviously value the client relationship. As I’m also in a client centric role, it is encouraging to have a likeminded professional who responds to clients in a timely fashion. I now have confidence and comfort in moving forward that I greatly appreciate.

McIntyre Legal have supported my family every step of the way through a difficult and hard-fought estate administration matter. Their practical and strategic approach, coupled with their excellent communication and reliability throughout the proceedings, led us to achieve a fantastic result. We always had a clear outline of next steps and potential outcomes and nothing came as a surprise. Anthea McIntyre and her team are an absolute pleasure to deal with and their dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for their clients is exemplary. I cannot recommend this firm highly enough!

What an incredibly thorough, professional and thoughtful Legal team to work with. Anthea is an absolute powerhouse and will be unwavering in her commitment to protect her clients. I cannot recommend Anthea, Jessica and the entire McIntyre legal team highly enough. They were always available, quick to respond and helped me through a very tough time with a deceased estate.

I engaged Anthea from McIntyre Legal in 2018 to assist me with not only the preparations of my estate planning but and ongoing matter evolving my late mothers estate. Through out the process (which was quite technical and complex at times) Anthea, explained and translated all the information for me. Anthea and her team where absolutely wonderful! I couldn't have found a better person to assist me in this matter and help me achieve the end outcome. I have the uttermost confidence and trust Anthea and her advice, and guidance. I would have no hesitation in recommending her services to anyone wanting to plan their estate or for those with questions and queries in dealing with deceased estates.

I need to publicly express my gratitude to Anthea and her team in helping throughout a very long and tedious matter. We were thrown into a situation that we would never of expected, the sudden death of my Dad, who was still so young. A beloved Father, father in law and Grandad.
Instead of being able to come to terms with our sudden loss and grieve we were the unfortunate victims of someone else’s greed and selfishness. The last thing that one needs when dealing with a death of a family member is the legal implications that unfortunately followed.
Anthea and the team at McIntyre Legal had a caring and compassionate nature that would have been unprecedented, and whilst one would argue it’s ‘just a job’ for Anthea, she definitely went out of her way and showed that she and her team genuinely cared about our situation and outcome.
Anthea and her team are the ultimate iron fist with a silk glove. Firm and forceful when they need to be and soft and careful when necessary. We really felt that you cared for us, and that we weren’t just another case for you and your team.
Further your legal insight and knowledge proved helpful and accurate at all times throughout the case. I will be eternally grateful for all of your help, long hours & late nights. Your business acumen, attention to detail with a hands on approach made the difficult tasks look easy, you all have been a class act! Whilst the process was stressful… we had faith & trust that you were in our corner and prepared to go the extra mile. It didn’t go unnoticed when you often worked all night and all weekend on our case, and I can’t help to think that not everyone would have been prepared to do this for us and our matter.
Thank you again, anyone looking for an absolute professional shouldn’t look past Anthea and her team at McIntyre Legal.
