Lauren Roberts’ practice at TGB Lawyers focuses on the areas of Wills & Estates, Succession Law and Commercial Law.

She has wide ranging expertise in estate planning matters, with a particular focus on family business succession planning, complex estate planning, testamentary trusts and protective testamentary trusts.

Lauren supports clients to obtain grants of probate and letters of administration, including supporting families to administer the estate of their loved ones.

Lauren has expertise in wills and estate disputes including advising and assisting clients in matters concerning contested estates, superannuation death benefit claim disputes, testamentary capacity and undue influence claims, domestic partnership applications, trust disputes, special wills applications, intestacy matters, contested applications for letters of administration and claims for further provision pursuant to the Inheritance (Family Provision) Act 1972 (SA). Lauren is sensitive to the stress that these claims can put on clients and she advocates for alternative dispute resolution, such as mediation, where appropriate.

In addition to advising clients on a wide range of matters in the Magistrates, District and Supreme Courts of South Australia, Lauren also advises on contested administration and guardianship matters, and Community Treatment Orders, before the South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (SACAT).

Lauren has represented a range of clients including individuals, family businesses and not-for-profit organisations.

Lauren believes strongly in the benefits of volunteering in our community. The extensive list of associations she is a member of or involved in as outlined in this profile are testament to that.
