“Where do we even start?”...It’s one of the most common questions people ask when they begin thinking about moving later in life.

Last week we had the pleasure of joining Probus Caulfield to talk about this very topic, and judging by the lively discussion, it’s clearly something many people are thinking about.

Our expert panel of speakers for the morning were:
🔹Tony Bartel and Kathryn Gray - Rennicks & Gaynor Solicitors
🔹 Sara Cook - Age Well Solutions
🔹 Phil Hoopmann and Athena Connock - Tower Property Advisory

We unpacked some of the big decisions that come with moving.
Not just selling a home, but everything that sits around that decision.

We talked about:
🏡 Choosing where to live — whether that’s downsizing, retirement living or residential aged care
📑 Getting the legal arrangements in place
📊 Making confident property sale decisions

What often surprises people is how many small but important details sit behind these decisions. The more people understand early, the more confident and in control they feel about the next chapter.

That’s why these conversations matter.

A big thank you to Judith Brett for hosting us, and to everyone who came along and shared their questions and experiences.

We are proud to support Trevor Watson in his inspiring effort to help fight “The Beast” and raise much-needed funds for Motor Neurone Disease (MND) research and support.

Since January 2022, Trevor has walked more than 2,200 km around senior footy ovals—each walk covering 9 km and over 10,000 steps.

Νow, he has been granted the incredible opportunity to complete his 250th walk on the hallowed turf of the MCG on November 30th.

To mark the occasion, he’s turning this milestone into something even more meaningful: a fundraiser for FightMND. With too many people in our community affected by MND, Trevor is aiming to raise $1 for every step he takes.

The following speakers shared insights from their areas of expertise:
Sara Cook - Age Well Solutions

Together we explored three key areas of moving: choosing where to live - whether downsizing, retirement living or residential aged care, getting the legals sorted and property sale decisions. We covered many of the often-overlooked details that people should be aware of to make confident, well-informed choices about their future.

We were thrilled to be welcomed by a full room and the feedback was very positive.

A big thank you to Ian Crawley and everyone who attended.

⚖️ “I’ve never done this before… I don’t even know where to start.”

That’s something we often hear from Executors who suddenly find themselves responsible for managing a deceased estate. On top of grief and family dynamics, they now have to navigate legal processes, property sales, and financial decisions. It’s a lot!

The truth is, selling an estate property isn’t just about putting a home on the market — it’s about balancing transparency, fairness, and family expectations. And that’s why many Executors choose to bring in a vendor advocate.

✅ It protects them from criticism.
✅ It ensures the right agent and sales strategy.
✅ It takes stress off their shoulders, while giving beneficiaries confidence.

If you’ve ever been an Executor, you’ll know how complex it can feel. With the right support, the process can be smoother — and deliver the best outcome for everyone involved.
