Elyse Chandler

Probate & Accounts Clerk

Elyse Chandler joined Wakefield Lawyers in 2022, bringing a wealth of experience from her previous roles in customer service management. After completing her VCE at Drouin Secondary College, Elyse worked as a manager in a client-focused industry, where she developed strong communication and organisational skills. She later transitioned into the legal field, where she now plays a pivotal role in both estates administration and accounts management.

As an Estates Clerk, Elyse assists the team in administering deceased estates, including meeting with family members, liaising with asset holders, preparing applications for Grant of Probate, calling in assets, and overseeing the distribution of estates. Her attention to detail and compassionate approach ensures that each estate is handled efficiently and with care.

In addition to her work in estates, Elyse plays a key role in managing the firm’s Trust account. She handles daily trust account reconciliations, processes payments, manages the accounts inbox, and responds to account-related enquiries. Her strong organisational skills and keen attention to detail are integral to ensuring the firm’s financial operations run smoothly and efficiently

Elyse works from the Drouin office, Monday through Friday, always ready to assist both clients and colleagues with her professional and supportive approach.

Outside of work, Elyse enjoys overseas travel, learning about different cultures, histories, and local cuisines. She also loves relaxing weekends with her partner and is often eager to share stories about her beloved cat, Billy.

I find it rewarding to contribute in different ways – whether it’s helping clients navigate estate matters or ensuring smooth financial processes. Knowing I’m making a difference in people’s lives and in the firm’s operations is what keeps me motivated.
