Meet Simone Hargreaves
Director and Principal Lawyer
I founded The Estate Planning Centre because I believe estate planning deserves better than a rushed meeting and a standard template.
Too often, families receive advice that is technically correct but misses the point entirely. A will that doesn’t account for the real dynamics of your family - the blended relationships, the business complexities, the unspoken concerns - is a plan that will fail when it matters most.
My approach starts with listening. Deeply, and without rushing. I want to understand not just your assets, but your family, the relationships, the history, the things that keep you up at night. Because only when I understand the full picture can I design a plan that truly works.
I’ve built a team of lawyers who share this philosophy. We are rigorous in our legal work, thorough in our process, and genuinely invested in the families we serve. We don’t do volume. We do depth.
If you’re looking for a firm that will take the time to understand your situation and build something that lasts, I’d welcome the conversation.
Clarity brings peace of mind.
Life’s most significant transitions often involve important legal decisions.
Whether you’re planning for the future, administering the estate of someone you’ve loved, or navigating an estate dispute, we’re here to provide clear advice, thoughtful guidance and practical solutions that help you move forward with confidence.
“The entire process was enlightening, uplifting and a joy to get done giving us peace of mind.
Simone and the team were thorough, professional and made a process that could be confronting, an absolute pleasure.”
