Will
What is a will? : A will is a legal document that clearly mention your wishes for the distribution of your assets after your death.
Do not have a will? : If you do not have a will, then the intestacy rules set out in legislation will determine how your estate is distributed. This procedure will not follow your wishes. Further, it may also increase the cost of your estate administration, significant time delays and will give an unnecessary burden to your family.
Why have a will? : Having a clear, legally valid and up-to-date will is the best way to ensure that your assets are protected and distributed according to your wishes.
Who can challenge a will? : Any family members or people who share a close personal relationship who will fall undue financial hardship as a result of being left out of the will can make an application to contest the will. This includes a current or former spouse, a de-facto partner, a child or grandchild, a dependent or person who had a close personal relationship with the will maker at the time of his or her death.
What do you need to think about before making a will?
Choosing an executor/executors (1-5 people) - an executor is the person who is responsible for carrying out the instructions in your will and then distribute the gifts according to the will
Decide who will be appointed as a guardian to look after your child/children until they turn 18 years
Decide who do you wish to give your assets after death. Also, think who you would wish to benefit from your will if your immediate family does not survive you
Provide details to your solicitor with full names & street addresses of people mentioned in the will
You will also need to provide a full list of assets to your solicitor including superannuation, life insurance, trust and business details
