Our Team at Bechelet & Co

Danielle Bechelet

Principal

I’m Danielle Bechelet, the Principal of Bechelet & Co. I have practised exclusively in wills and estates in Perth for 11+ years. My ultimate goal is to ensure you are at peace about your affairs.


I am a leader in Estate Litigation, dedicated to advocating for clients in will disputes, inheritance claims, and contested estates, ensuring their rights are protected and justice is achieved

I regularly deal with the administration of both complex and straightforward deceased estates, supporting families through difficult times and keeping them informed throughout the process.


If there is family discord, I will be there to assist you in achieving the prompt resolution of any disputes related to deceased estates.


I am the current Chair of the Society of Trust and Estates Practitioners, Western Australia (STEP WA) and also serve on sub-committees for STEP Australia. As a member of these committees, I stay abreast of changes to the law to incorporate them in Bechelet & Co.

Liana Femia

I'm Liana, a lawyer practising in Wills and Estates, with a particular focus on estate planning and estate administration. I hold a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Notre Dame, and I was admitted to the Supreme Court of Western Australia in 2024.

I advise our clients on a wide range of estate planning matters, including the preparation of Wills, Enduring Powers of Attorney, Enduring Powers of Guardianship, and Advance Health Directives. I also assist executors and administrators with the administration of deceased estates, including applications for Grants of Probate and Letters of Administration.

With a clear and considered approach, I am committed to helping our clients navigate what can often be a complex and sensitive area of law. I take the time to ensure our clients understand their options and feel confident in the decisions they make, delivering advice that is both practical and tailored to individual needs.
