The key document that organises your affairs and expresses your final wishes is your Will.

Our expert lawyers can assist you with any of the following will procedures:

  • Wills for singles or couples
  • Special purpose wills, such as with protective or testamentary trusts
  • Estate Planning
  • Business succession planning
  • Special Disability Trusts

Your Questions Answered

Estate planning is the process of working through your assets, liabilities and your family’s needs to determine what arrangements need to be made in the event of your incapacitation or death – ensuring that whatever happens, your loved ones will be provided for.
Preparing a Will is just part of implementing a complete estate plan. An estate plan will generally include a Will, but may also include other steps such as appointing attorneys, giving instructions to your superannuation fund and making arrangements to ensure your business can be sold or wound down.
By engaging a legal practitioner to assist in planning your estate, the first step is an appointment to discuss your wants and needs for when you pass away. Once this is established, the lawyer will provide advice on issues for you to consider so you can tell them how you want your documents prepared. The lawyer will then prepare a draft and forward the same to you for your feedback. Once any necessary amendments are made, another appointment will be scheduled for you to execute your documents in front of witnesses. Alternatively, if it is not convenient for you to attend the office for these appointments, the entire process can be done remotely.
As part of the Will preparation process by a legal practitioner, you are provided tailored advice in accordance with your circumstances and future needs for your loved ones. If you execute a Will from the Post Office, you are not obtaining advice on how your Will should be set out to achieve the best possible outcome. The wording of a Post Office Will may also mean that your wishes are not correctly expressed, may miss assets or overlook legal issues, meaning you don’t achieve your intended outcome.
If you pass away without a Will or without a valid Will, you will die intestate. The laws of intestacy determine how your estate is distributed which may mean that someone may benefit from your estate who you do not wish to. By having a valid Will at the time of death, the estate administration process is much simpler and less costly for your loved ones.
