Meet Jacqui Thomas

Director and Wills & Estates Lawyer

Jacqui - trusted wills lawyer Queensland

I’m Jacqui, the Founding Director of Sun Wills & Estates.  Apart from being a lawyer, I’m also a mum to two beautiful boys.

Two things I know to be absolutely true about myself – I love my kids more than I can put into words, and I lead with kindness.

For me, family is everything.  My sons are my greatest legacy.  Becoming a mum was (naturally) life-changing, but what I didn’t expect is that it also changed my approach to estate planning. Estate planning is about so much more than just getting names and gifts down on paper. I believe that families need quality and compassionate guidance and support to create plans that not only nail the legals, but also set their kids and loved ones up for success.

I saw an alarming gap in education on estate planning and why it’s important for *everyone*. This led me to create our free resource library. I want you to feel empowered and have the guidance needed to make informed decisions. This creates peace of mind and better outcomes for families.

The foundation of Sun Wills & Estates is a genuine commitment to prioritising our clients and exceptional service. I firmly believe that estate planning is about more than just legalities and documents—it’s about providing peace of mind, comfort, and confidence that your wishes are meticulously documented and your loved ones’ needs are met. My purpose is to secure your family’s future and help you leave a meaningful legacy.

Kind Words

  • "I would like to highly recommend Jacqui Thomas for any estate planning you need.

    I was very apprehensive about using an online service as I am not very technically minded. Jacqui was very kind and friendly and made the whole process so easy.

    She sent me very comprehensive information about all the services she offers, plus a form to complete before our first online video meeting.

    Jacqui was very well prepared for what I needed, and answered all my questions thoroughly.

    I had a short time to prepare my Will, Enduring Power of Attorney, and Advanced  Health Directive as I was travelling overseas. Jacqui completed all the drafts so quickly, and after I reviewed them, the completed documents were delivered to me with plenty of time to have them witnessed before my trip.

    Jacqui runs a very professional streamlined service, and I am so happy I chose her.”

  • "Jacqui has a clear passion for estate planning which shows in every detail of her offerings.

    From the first point of contact, to the meeting right through to receiving the important documents to sift through and sign.

    Even after my matter was finalised, I had some follow up questions about my Will. Jacqui’s swift response with immense detail showcases her love for this corner of the law - a specialty that may not usually attract such a vibrant yet down-to- earth professional.

    Jacqui made the whole experience easy and stress-free. I feel like I’ve successfully put my ‘big-girl’ pants on by planning my Will and estate. I’d recommend her to anyone wanting to do the same (big-girl pants optional).”

  • "I've only had a Will done by a solicitor once before and the experience was chalk and cheese.

    Whereas my previous experience left me annoyed and thinking it wasn’t worth the money, the total opposite was true with Jacqui at Sun Wills & Estates.

    Her approach was both friendly and professional. I felt she wanted to understand my needs and preferences and help me achieve what I wanted.

    She patiently answered a dozen questions and offered a whole heap more information about stuff I didn’t even know I needed to think about. She allowed me the time I needed to think things through and return paperwork.

    I was very happy with the service and end product and would highly recommend Jacqui at Sun Wills & Estates.”

    -CM

  • "Jacqui is one of the most kind and caring humans you could ever meet.

    She was very compassionate as she guided my husband and I through our estate planning journey which was greatly appreciated when we were making plans for our daughter.

    Despite how confronting this was, Jacqui carefully guided us to make thoughtful and mindful decisions that gave us a sense of comfort and security. I would highly recommend Jacqui to anyone wanting to create an estate plan.”
