25.01.2022 I look forward to presenting at this event in Scarborough on Thursday. If you are a local woman in business and are interested in networking with other ladies, this is a great event to attend.

25.01.2022 A rare selfie after a lovely lunch at The Westin for Cancer Council Research. Cariad Legal supports the Cancer Council by providing pro bono estate planning for clients in need. If you or a loved one has been affected by cancer, I encourage you to contact the Cancer Council to find out more about the support they can offer.

24.01.2022 Cariad Legal is supporting this fundraiser on 2 February. Please come along and support. There will be lots of activities and a great community spirit.

23.01.2022 Thank you to Gill and Emlyn for the lovely souvenirs from Wales!

23.01.2022 A big thank you to all of our clients, referrers, friends and family. Cariad Legal is 2 years old today and its thanks to your continuing support. I feel blessed to be able to help people through Cariad so thank you for spreading the word about what we do and, importantly, how we do it - with cariad!

23.01.2022 The very talented Liz Green recently interviewed me for "Wise Matilda of the Month". It can be very difficult to put your own story into words so I was humbled by Lizs skill and talent in crafting this article. If you would like to hear a bit about my story and find out who the Wise Matildas are, please have a look at the link below. https://wisematildas.com.au/catherine-lynch-lawyer/ Meet Wise Matilda of the Month: Catherine Lynch...Continue reading

23.01.2022 Working from home has its perks (e.g. free feline supervision), however, with restrictions easing we are pleased to be able to offer office appointments for the next two weeks. If you are keen to have an in-person, office consultation, please contact us as soon as possible as our diary is filling up quickly. Further, appointments will be limited from 18 May to end of June (more details to follow...) which is another good reason to book in ASAP!

22.01.2022 February is shaping up to be a busy month for Cariad Legal which means some weekend work in the home office. Thankfully I have some good company!

21.01.2022 Would you know what to do if one of your family members passed away? Join Tammy from Estate Administration Services and Catherine from Cariad Legal as we discuss the practical and legal implications including Probate and the Role of the Executor. Please see link below for details of this event offered by Joondalup Library.... https://events.joondalup.wa.gov.au/event-registration/

21.01.2022 Thank you to Jenny of HarEanne for the beautiful gifts!

21.01.2022 Cariad Legal has been a little bit quiet of late but very busy behind the scenes. After a hectic couple of weeks back in the office in May, I have been at home with a new little supervisor, Master Thomas Paul. Thank you to all of my clients, referrers, colleagues, family and friend for your ongoing support. The photo shown here is the top tier of my wedding cheese tower from 2018. Thankfully it kept well and was finally eaten in celebration of the birth of our son

20.01.2022 Cariad Legal will be presenting at Joondalup Library this Thursday morning at 10am. Follow the link below to register with the library. Places are limited and we have had a full house every time weve presented here. Best of all, as well as the formal presentation, a cup of tea and light refreshments, you will have the opportunity to have your questions answered! https://events.joondalup.wa.gov.au/event-registration/

20.01.2022 Cariad Legal is now offering to conduct all initial appointments by phone over the coming months. This means that you can stay at home (or by the pool!) and start the estate planning process even if you are self isolating. It also means that we can be more flexible with our hours offering weekend and evening appointments as required. Feel free to call Catherine on 0421 475 801 to get started at a time and place that suits you. As a side note, this photo was taken at Crown Towers where we are belatedly celebrating both Cariad and Catherines birthdays!

17.01.2022 Great quote from End of Life Doula Nicolette Smith

17.01.2022 Do you have your Will stored in a secure, fireproof location? Have you advised your executors where to find your Will when you pass away? Here at Cariad Legal, we offer secure, fireproof storage and we notify your executors as part of the service. If you already have your Will stored with Cariad and would like a couple of these new cards to keep with your paperwork/ give to your executors, please get in touch.

17.01.2022 Here at Cariad Legal, we are lucky enough to have the opportunity to assist some of our clients and their families a number of times over the years. We still offer home visits for those unable to attend the office such as Mr and Mrs Damouni. Its always a pleasure to see the Damouni family and this visit I was even able to introduce them to my little boy.

16.01.2022 What a special privilege to be able to assist three generations of the same family! At Cariad Legal we are here for you, and your family, now and into the future. Thank you Helen for entrusting us with not only your estate planning but also with your familys.

16.01.2022 We look forward to presenting a new topic at the Woodvale Library in November. Thank you to the City of Joondalup for hosting this event.

15.01.2022 Christmas is nearly here! Cariad Legal is open for one more week and then will be closed until 6 January. Thank you to Vogt Graham Lawyers for the beautiful gift box of goodies, it is much appreciated!

14.01.2022 Thank you to the lovely attendees at Helen Owens Carers Wellbeing group. It was a pleasure sharing my experience with you, especially with regards to providing for someone with a disability. I hope you found the session informative.

14.01.2022 40 degrees today! After an early morning walk at the beach, this weather is a good excuse to stay indoors and catch up on some administrative tasks before the end-of-year busy period!

14.01.2022 On the way to the Supreme Court of Western Australia yesterday to file some documents for a client. A beautiful day if not a bit hot to be walking around!

13.01.2022 One of the joys of being a small business owner is the abundance of opportunities to meet and get to know like-minded fellow business owners, to share and learn from each other. I had a lovely weekend away with these ladies at 5 Rooms Retreat in Gracetown. This is a beautiful home set up for small groups with all profits going to breast cancer research. We highly recommend 5 Rooms Retreat for your next getaway down south.

13.01.2022 Not all of my clients use email. Im glad the vast majority do but it is nice to be able to send personalised mail the old fashioned way sometimes. This client shares my love of cats!

12.01.2022 Thank you for your support this year! It has been a very busy year for me both personally and professionally so I am looking forward to taking a break over the Christmas period. Cariad Legal will be closed from 20 December to 6 January 2020.... I will have some email and phone availability during that time but I look forward to assisting you with renewed energy in January. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! (On a side note, this gold leaf card was given to me along with a decadent gift box by Simon Blake-Graham, a real estate agent who specialises in deceased estate properties. Simon is currently selling a property for one of my clients and I cant recommend him highly enough, he has truly gone above and beyond!)

12.01.2022 Summer is here! Even this poor sunflower is looking a little flustered by the heat! The holidays will be here before we know it. Do you have all of your affairs in order before heading off on your break? There are only a few short weeks to get in contact to arrange your estate planning before Christmas. Were here to help!

11.01.2022 I am currently overseas but available via email to answer any queries. Please feel free to get in contact.

10.01.2022 Theres No Fixing this Mistake! Imagine you need a new toilet installed in your bathroom. Youre not a plumber but plumbers are expensive. You can buy a new toilet suite and all the relevant parts from the local hardware store. You can find a video online showing you how to do it. Youre handy, good with tools. Its easy! Perhaps you succeed. For now. Perhaps you think youve succeeded but are unaware that water is slowly seeping into the spaces between the walls and t...Continue reading

10.01.2022 Working in the area of Wills and Estates, I have become very aware of the existence of elder abuse in our community. This article (which happens to be about an incident involving my sister) is a reminder that we need to be aware and look out for all vulnerable members of our community. Thank you to The Post and David Cohen for taking the time to report on this important issue.

09.01.2022 Another full house with City of Joondalup today, presenting on our topic of Contesting Wills. So much interest and so many questions. Estate planning, or lack thereof, is clearly an issue that affects us all. It was lovely to see some old and new clients and to meet some new people also. Pictured here is Toby, a very special client and friend of Cariad.

08.01.2022 Oh no! This was our fence after the recent storms in Perth. Sometimes unexpected and unwanted things happen! Thankfully we have great neighbours and good insurance and were able to get this fixed without too much trouble. Do you have all of your insurances in place? At Cariad Legal, we can help you with your estate planning and we can also put you in touch with excellent financial planners and insurance brokers to ensure these other important areas are covered too.

08.01.2022 "With the spread of COVID-19 getting ones own affairs in order is now a priority" This article is written for Victorian and NSW audiences but the main points apply to WA also. A great article about the importance of getting your affairs in order during this uncertain time. Feel free to call me with any queries, we are here to help. https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx

07.01.2022 We are grateful to have the opportunity to support carers in WA especially during Carers Week

06.01.2022 Did you know that my first degree was in linguistics? I also studied French, Japanese, Latin and Ancient Greek. Later I took night classes in Spanish and Arabic. One day Ill take a sabbatical and study Welsh!

06.01.2022 This article is timely following on from my recent article about the perils of DIY Wills. Even (or perhaps especially) the rich and famous have estate planning issues! https://www.abc.net.au//aretha-franklins-handwri/11133298

06.01.2022 Youre never too young to get a Will organised. We often dont think about them until its too late. Bass Tadros spoke with Catherine Lynch about why you *should* think about your Will and what can happen if you dont have a Will in place.

04.01.2022 Back in beautiful Perth and ready to assist with all of your estate planning and deceased estate queries!

04.01.2022 Tune into WTV at seven this evening to see my short segment on Wills. The show will also be repeated on Tuesday and Thursday

04.01.2022 Very interesting episode of Insight last night. This is also the topic I will be presenting on 10 November - Contesting Wills

02.01.2022 Thank you to Jane, Bass and Angela at WTV for taking the time to interview me about the ever important topic of Wills! We will let you know when the interview will be going to air!

02.01.2022 I will be presenting at this event tomorrow evening. It is now a Zoom event so easy to join and listen in. As always, feel free to get in touch with us if you have any queries about this topic or any other matters.
