In NSW a will must be in writing, signed and witnessed by two people. Marano Family Lawyers in the Sydney CBD prepares and updates wills, and applies to the Supreme Court for statutory wills when someone cannot make one. The Sydney CBD office is at Unit 53/57 Liverpool St, Sydney NSW 2000.
Sign and witness your will at our Liverpool Street office in the city.
Life changes affect a will. Marriage generally cancels an earlier will unless it was made with that marriage in mind, and divorce cancels gifts to a former spouse. Separation alone does not, which is why anyone who has separated should review their will straight away.
Where a person lacks capacity, the NSW Supreme Court can authorise a statutory will, made or changed on their behalf.
| Situation | What we do |

“Annamaria has been our family lawyer for over 20 years. Her extensive legal knowledge and professionalism are invaluable. Her direct advice in difficult situations is highly respected. Most importantly, Annamaria is a lawyer that is trustworthy and shows empathy and compassion, which is rare in this world. I have no hesitation in recommending Annamaria and her team.”
“I had a phone consultation with her, and the conversation quickly turned to fees. She advised her rate was $600 per hour, which I agreed to. The next day, she requested $5,000 to be transferred directly into her bank account, which I also agreed to. I then sent 27 emails containing the story of the dispute I am facing, which I understood were printed. However, when we met in person, it appeared that the emails and information I had provided had not been reviewed. Today, she repeatedly asked me for instructions on how to respond to my ex-partner’s lawyer. When I asked whether she had read the emails I had already sent, it was clear she was not familiar with the information. For that reason, I decided to end the engagement immediately. She refunded me $500 for some printing paper and 1 and a half hour consultation! She is very greedy about money. Do not engage her.”
“Going through the trauma and the process of divorce is never easy, but having an outstanding lawyer made all the difference. Annamaria's attention to details, preparedness , knowledge and professionalism is exceptional. I had an excellent experience working with Morano Lawyers. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking expert legal advice and representation in family law.”
“Marano Lawyers provided exemplary service from commencement to conclusion. Despite errors on my part, the team went above and beyond in their efforts and ultimately achieved an outcome that exceeded my expectations. Their professionalism, clear communication, and unwavering commitment to their clients are of the highest standard. I confidently recommend Marano Lawyers to anyone seeking reliable and effective legal representation. I recently finalised a family law matter under the guidance of Annamaria, and I cannot commend her highly enough. Throughout what was an exceptionally stressful and anxious period, her professionalism, patience, and calm manner were invaluable. The favourable outcome reached was a direct reflection of Annamaria’s diligence, tenacity, and consistent focus on securing the most just and equitable result for all parties involved. Her compassion, understanding, and ability to provide reassurance during such sensitive proceedings are qualities that set her apart. Annamaria’s dedication to her clients is evident in every aspect of her work, and I remain sincerely grateful for the support and expertise she provided.”
“Just completed a family law matter with Annamaria. I could not speak highly enough of her level of professionalism and her patience during for me what was a very stressful and anxious time. The resulting outcome was all due to Annamaria's diligence and tenacity to look after her client and get the best and fairest outcome for both sides. This level of compassion and understanding during these sorts of cases puts you at ease while she goes about her work to get a result that is fair and equitable.”
