Tara your Art of Estate Planning has changed my practice and my life. I know this sounds super gushy and over the top, but it is true.
I have grown so much as an estate planning solicitor since joining up and using your precedents. I listen to your hot seats religiously but am currently doing some study with the College of Law which clashes with the actual live hot seats.
Thanks to you and Carrie for everything you bring to estate planning and for our amazing community.

Because of your community I was able to meet and connect with a lawyer who is now a wonderful close friend and who I know I can trust to look after my business if I cannot, and after slogging away alone for quite a number of years with no professional network or community to speak of, you have no idea how much it means to me to have found one now.âŻâŻ Thank you x a million still wouldnât be enough.

So I have set up my relatively new practice (solo) and am really stoked to be a member of the TT club! Really helps feels less isolated and part of a community of learning!

The TT Precedents Club is amazing, and I highly recommend it to all EP lawyers! The resources provided by Tara and ideas shared by other members of the club have really helped boost my confidence in providing advice on and drafting EP documents for my own clients. Whether you're using Tara’s precedents (which I also highly recommend) or your own, the guidance provided on drafting is second to none. Get yourself in the club or on the waitlist – you won’t regret it!

I have found the TT Precedents Club very valuable so far! Thank you for creating an awesome group of like minded individuals passionate about estate planning. I am a sole practitioner, and although I have admin staff, it is great to have a space to discuss estate planning issues that arise with other knowledgeable solicitors.

Thank you Tara. I really do think I have found "my place" and all has lead to this right where I am now, especially with having you and the TT Club and the community you have created.
For so long it's always been that I would just settle for how the firms up here "do law"...
You have created a movement Tara - you really have.

Why The TT Precedents Club?
Hi, I’m Tara.
Founder of The Art of Estate Planning and (self-proclaimed) Queen of Wills.
I want to share my story about why I created The TT Precedents Club.
I started my estate planning career in 2007 at a very large Eagle Street law firm in Brisbane, in what we called the Structuring division. Structuring lawyers specialised in estate planning, trusts, tax and asset protection. But we mostly did estate planning. We weren’t called the estate planning division, because there was another team of about 20 people who only did estate planning. So they claimed that title. And we weren’t called the tax team, because same thing – we had another team of about 20 people who only did tax. So we called ourselves Structuring.
Back then I didn’t realise how lucky I was to learn on the job in a firm with such deep expertise and specialisation. If there was something I didn’t know - chances are one of the other 50 estate planning or tax lawyers on the firm could help. We wrote our own precedents. We drafted submissions about proposed legislative changes. We attended weekly breakfast technical training. I just thought that was the norm.
I spent 8 years at that firm where I went from novice to expert, before breaking away with 3 other colleagues to start a boutique estate planning law firm, feeling tired and disillusioned with the politics of large law firms.
I was a proud partner at our new firm, overseeing the online estate planning division, sending out around 10 estate plans a day. Again, we rewrote all our own precedents. Again I thought that was the norm. I spent another 4 years there before it was time to do my own thing to create The Art of Estate Planning.
And despite all of this estate planning experience, when it was time for me to leave and go out on my own - I was scared. Imposter syndrome crept in, telling me that I would have no support, no one to bounce ideas off, and that I didn’t know what I was doing. I got over it pretty quickly, but it was there. I joined The Nexus Law Group, rewrote my precedents AGAIN, and started thriving in my new law environment. I found support in The Art of Estate Planning community.
I see you - the new wave of estate planning lawyers. Sole practitioners determined to do estate planning better. Lawyers in small firms who are doing their best to serve their clients with testamentary trusts despite not having access to the resources and depth of expertise of a large CBD firm. I love what you’re doing and I want to support you.
The TT precedents club is for YOU. You are not alone. If you want to bounce an idea off me - if you would feel more confident with another set of eyes on a clause - if you need precedents you can rely on. Your clients deserve high quality TT advice and documents, and you deserve to feel confident and supported while serving them.
