Solicitor FAQs
What is the difference between a solicitor and a lawyer?
In Australia, the term lawyer is a broad, umbrella word. It simply means a person who is admitted to practise law and holds the necessary qualifications and practising certificate. This covers both solicitors and barristers.
A solicitor is a particular type of lawyer. In Queensland, solicitors:
* Are the first point of contact for most clients.
* Provide legal advice, draft contracts and documents, handle conveyancing, family and business matters, and manage disputes before they go to court.
* Can appear in some courts and tribunals but often brief a barrister (another type of lawyer who specialises in courtroom advocacy) if a matter needs specialist representation in higher courts.
So, while all solicitors are lawyers, not all lawyers are solicitors – some may be barristers or work in other areas of law. At Rochford Solicitors, we act as your trusted legal advisors, guiding you through every step and, where necessary, working with barristers to ensure you receive the strongest representation.
Why should I choose a solicitor?
When you engage a solicitor to help you with your case, you’ll receive:
- Specific guidance and advice when it comes to preparing documentation
- Professional expertise and knowledge of legislation and how it might impact you
- Assistance in finding the best approach or navigating various alternatives
- Support avoiding potential negative consequences if your situation becomes more complex
What questions should I ask my solicitor?
When engaging our solicitors, you’ll naturally have questions for our team. It’s important to ask:
- What documentation should I bring for my first meeting with you?
- What is your experience? Have you dealt with similar cases?
- Who will be handling my issue?
- How long will matters take?
- Can you predict my prospect of success?
What is a Letter of Administration?
When a valid will has not been left, the next of kin can apply to the Supreme Court for a Letter of Administration that allows them to distribute the deceased’s estate. Our solicitors can help prepare the application, which must be submitted in order for an administrator to be appointed. Find out more about our services surrounding wills and estates.
