Conveyancing
Buying or selling real estate is a major investment and is both exciting and stressful. It is important that you receive advice on all aspects of the transaction from reviewing the contract before you sign through to the final settlement.
At Morton & Morton, our experienced team of conveyancing staff and solicitors are able to provide detailed advice and assistance with all types of conveyancing including buying or selling residential or commercial property, buying or selling land, leases and entering into agreements for residence in a retirement home.
Most conveyancing is able to be completed for a fixed fee. Our team will be able to advise the anticipated fee for your situation and provide information in relation to any additional charges that may be incurred including search fees and payable stamp duty.
At Morton & Morton Solicitors, we understand the importance of planning for the future. That’s why we recommend creating two key documents that reflect your wishes.
Our team of succession lawyers will work with you to draft these documents, ensuring that your plans are clearly communicated and any potential confusion is avoided.
Whether you are concerned about receiving the care you need, want to ensure that your estate is managed by someone you trust, or want to provide for your loved ones after you’re gone, these documents can help.
Although the legal language surrounding these documents can be complex, our team is here to help you understand everything in plain English.
With years of experience serving a variety of clients, we are well-equipped to help you navigate this process.

Personal Injury
Suffering an injury or illness can seriously affect your income, your lifestyle, and your relationships with your family.
At Morton and Morton, a partner looks after you from the first interview to the final outcome of your injury claim.
Adrian Land has over 35 years’ experience in injury claims helping many people navigate the transition from injury through to obtaining proper compensation allowing you to move forward with your life.
During such a stressful time, it is important that you have someone local that you can see, talk to and discuss your matter whenever you need to.
It is not just an injury that can overturn your life. When you suffer an illness that stops you from working, we can assist you with a Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) claim through your insurance or Superannuation.
The first interview is free and without obligation and we undertake most injury compensation and TPD claims on a No Win, No Fee basis.
