Whether you're buying a home, managing a lease, drafting a will, or selling a business, our lawyers Whitsundays offer focused and reliable legal advice throughout the region.

  • Can you help if I'm buying property from outside Queensland?

    Yes. We regularly assist clients with interstate property transactions, particularly buyers and sellers dealing with NSW real estate. Our team is experienced in jurisdiction-specific laws and handles the process digitally, from reviewing contracts to final settlement.

  • What makes your conveyancing service different?

    We combine legal insight with practical experience to provide a conveyancing process that’s thorough, smooth, and easy to understand. All transactions are handled by qualified lawyers, not just conveyancers, so your matter is managed with precision from start to finish.

  • Do you assist with off-the-plan purchases?

    Absolutely. Off-the-plan transactions involve unique risks and timelines. We help clients understand their contractual obligations, highlight any red flags in the terms, and stay on top of key deadlines right through to settlement.

  • I'm starting a business. How can Airlie Legal assist?

    We support entrepreneurs and company owners with foundational business law services, including business structure advice, lease agreements, commercial contracts, and buying or selling enterprises. From start-up to scale, we help you build with clarity and control. We also help you understand how your business fits within the broader legal system, so you can make informed decisions and avoid unnecessary complications down the track.

  • Can you draft or update my will?

    Yes. We assist clients with wills, powers of attorney, and estate planning. Whether you're updating an existing will or preparing your first, we help put the right documents in place to protect your assets and the people who matter most to you.

  • What if someone is contesting a will in my family?

    We handle will disputes and contested estate matters with care and professionalism. If you're an executor, beneficiary, or concerned party, we can explain your options, help resolve the matter, and minimise stress during what is often an emotional time.

  • How do you approach commercial leasing issues?

    We represent both landlords and tenants in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating retail and commercial leases. We aim to prevent disputes by making lease terms clear, enforceable, and aligned with your commercial objectives.

  • Can you assist with estate administration after a loved one passes?

    Yes. We manage probate applications, letters of administration, and help executors distribute assets in line with the will or intestacy rules. Our team provides accurate documentation and keeps the process efficient and legally sound.

  • Which areas in the Whitsundays do you serve?

    Airlie Legal works with clients across Airlie Beach, Cannonvale, Proserpine, Bowen, and nearby towns including Mackay, Hamilton Island, Jubilee Pocket, and Sarina. We also offer remote services for those outside the region. While Airlie Legal is based in the Whitsundays, many clients seeking a Mackay law firm choose us for our approachable service, legal expertise, clear communication, and digital capabilities.

  • Do I need a lawyer or a conveyancer when buying property?

    A lawyer can offer wider legal protection compared to a conveyancer, especially when unexpected issues arise. At Airlie Legal, your property transaction is handled by a lawyer from start to finish, so you're supported beyond just the paperwork.

  • What should I consider before selling a business?

    Before selling your business, there are things you need to do such as review contracts, prepare disclosure documents, and clarify what assets are being transferred. Our legal team help make the process smoother by managing legal documentation and avoiding missteps that could delay the deal.

  • Can you help with subdividing land in Queensland?

    Yes. Subdivisions involve planning approvals, title changes, and development considerations. We help coordinate with your surveyor, town planner, and local council to keep your project on track.

  • I have a marina berth. Can I sell it like a regular property?

    Not quite. Marina berths are governed by leasehold arrangements, which come with strict terms and conditions. We help review the lease agreement and handle the transfer to avoid unexpected liabilities or delays.

  • Do you handle commercial property transactions?

    Yes. Our commercial property law solicitors work with business owners, investors, and developers on buying and selling commercial premises. From negotiating contract terms to managing settlements, our focus is on securing your investment and reducing legal risk.

  • Can Airlie Legal act for both parties in a property transaction?

    Generally, no. Representing both parties creates a conflict of interest. However, we can help you find an independent legal representative for the other party if needed.

  • Is estate planning just about making a will?

    Not at all. A complete estate plan may also include an enduring power of attorney, advance health directive, and asset protection strategy. We take a broader approach to help you safeguard your future.

  • How long does probate usually take?

    It depends on the complexity of the estate, but most probate applications in Queensland are granted within 6 to 8 weeks after filing. Our experienced team assists with gathering documents, lodging court applications, and streamlining the process.

  • Can I still use your services if I live outside the Whitsundays?

    Yes. We offer fully digital legal services across Queensland and NSW. Consultations, document review, and contract execution can all be handled remotely for your convenience.


    If you're based outside the region, our lawyers Whitsundays are still able to provide comprehensive legal assistance on matters related to property, commercial transactions, and estate planning, without the need for in-person meetings.
