Meet Eleanor Dartnall

Eleanor Dartnall founded Dartnall Estate Matters after two decades in senior roles across the trustee and estate administration industry, including as former Head of Perpetual Trustees Australia. Over that time, she oversaw the drafting and administration of countless Wills and deceased estates, working closely with families at some of the most difficult moments in their lives. Those experiences taught Eleanor to listen first, and to approach every family's circumstances with patience and understanding, however complex or straightforward they may be. She saw first-hand how inadequate planning can lead to unnecessary conflict, financial hardship and fractured relationships, and how a thoughtful, well-considered plan can help avoid this.

Eleanor is a member of the International Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) and works collaboratively with legal practitioners to develop estate planning solutions, covering Wills, testamentary trusts, powers of attorney and enduring guardianship. She established Dartnall Estate Matters to give families in Moss Vale and the Southern Highlands the same considered, personal approach.
