Rabia Javed-May

Wills lawyer in melbourne

With 20 years of experience in all things succession including wills, estate planning, deceased estates, and estate disputes, I’ve had the privilege of helping countless individuals, families and entrepreneurs secure their legacies and supporting families after the loss of a loved one.

I’ve worked with a cross-section of Australian society from ultra high net worth individuals and family groups to every-day mum and dad’s wanting to protect their legacy for future generations.

My journey in law has included leadership roles at top firms such as Slater & Gordon, BlueRock Law and Morrows Legal where I led national and multidisciplinary teams, developed estate planning and probate practices, and worked closely with accountants, financial advisors, and legal professionals to provide holistic client solutions. My expertise spans complex estate planning, business succession, probate and estate administration, estate litigation, elder abuse and superannuation matters.

Beyond legal practice, I am passionate about making estate planning accessible and stress-free. I engage in education and outreach through networking events, online content, and speaking engagements to help demystify the process for clients. My goal is to ensure that every client feels confident and secure in their estate planning decisions, knowing their legacy is protected and that families navigating the loss of a loved one are supported through the legal process.

When I’m not practicing law, you’ll find me exploring my love for pop culture, staying active in my local community, listening to my husband Travis’ dad jokes, being mum to my two adult daughters, Sara and Hajra, one teenage step-son Archie, two senior cats Leo & Frankie and a hyperactive 5 year old French Bulldog, Kevin.
