Legal sector disruptors cash in on spiralling costs of dying

CLIENT: JustFund

OUTLET: Australian Financial Review

Australia’s traditionally slow-moving wills and estates sector is facing major disruption, as law tech start-ups and litigation funders move to capitalise on a looming $5.4 trillion intergenerational wealth transfer.

With executors often spending up to a year managing estates - and fronting tens of thousands of dollars in upfront costs - new players are stepping in to modernise and financially support the process.

DL Comms client JustFund was featured in the Australian Financial Review, with COO Leigh McBean outlining how the business has expanded into estate law - offering loans to help executors cover costs and beneficiaries access funds sooner.
