What We Do

At Kelly & Chapman, we can help you in many areas of law whether you are buying or selling a home, business, or wanting to write a will, for example.

We Can Provide Legal Assistance
in the Following Areas:

Powers of Attorney

Powers of attorney are legal documents that let you choose someone who can make decisions for you. Powers of attorney give you choice and control.

Civil and Commercial Litigation

Very few people want to be involved in court proceedings. They can be protracted, stressful, costly and the outcome is not always predictable.

Criminal Law

It is an unfortunate fact of life that ordinary, decent and generally law-abiding people occasionally fall foul of the law. 

VCAT

Many minor and specialised disputes are dealt with at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT).

Wills & Probate

Wills & Probate focuses on managing a person’s estate after death, including validating wills, distributing assets, settling debts, and handling inheritance matters to ensure the deceased’s wishes are carried out legally.

Property Law

Property Law deals with the ownership, use, transfer, and protection of real estate and property rights, including buying, selling, leasing, and resolving property disputes.

Notary Public

If you’re sending legal documents overseas, many foreign governments, courts, and institutions will only accept them if they’ve been notarised by an appointed Notary Public.

  • We highly recommend Kelly and Chapman Lawyers for legal and conveyancing services provided to us for our recent sale.

Susan is very detailed and advised us through every step of the sale until the day of settlement. The team at Kelly and Chapman was very patient and guided us throughout the process of our sale and legal matter. We are using the services of Susan and K&C team for our next purchase so a big thank you from our end. Highly recommend the services of Susan and rest of the team at Kelly and Chapman.

    After my grandmother passed away last year I needed a lawyer to help me with applying for probate and settling the small estate with family. I am currently living overseas so after googling and coming across Kelly and Chapman Lawyers, I spoke with Vicki. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional and really personable. I knew straight away she was who I wanted to work with. Vicki and her team were extremely helpful and answered every question I had. They were very accommodating regarding the distance. She was extremely patient and handled alot of the drama that popped up very professionally and tactfully. It took some time but we were finally able to get an amazing outcome. I was so happy to have Vicki on my team. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you Vicki.

    We recently settled on our apartment in Bentleigh and used Laiany's services for the conveyancing. The service was fantastic and she kept us updated the whole way through. She was also available for any of our queries and responded in a very timely manner. We have used other firms previously for conveyancing and the difference between them and Laiany from Kelly & Chapman was chalk and cheese. We don't plan to be moving again anytime soon, but if we were, we will be using Kelly & Chapman Lawyers.
