Your Will

Your Will

Your Will is a key legal document which sets out your wishes for the division and distribution of your assets after your death. If you die without a valid Will, then your assets will be divided according to the laws of intestacy contained in legislation. These rules may not reflect your wishes.

We are able to prepare a Will for you which:

• appoints an executor responsible for administering your estate after you die
• appoints guardians of your children (if this is applicable)
• details how your assets should be distributed among your chosen beneficiaries
• directs that assets be held on trust for young or vulnerable beneficiaries (where this is appropriate)
• specifies the age when you would like your beneficiaries to be able to control their own inheritance
• provides the option for certain beneficiaries to receive their inheritance in a testamentary trust (rather than as a direct gift), which may provide significant tax benefits and assets protection benefits for the beneficiary

As well as drafting your Will, we can provide advice on other key things such as:

• providing advice on superannuation and life insurance after you die
• determining what will happen to any trusts and any private companies owned and/or controlled by you 
• steps which may be taken to minimise the risk of someone challenging your Will or bringing a successful family provision claim against your estate.

We do recommend that you review your Will on a regular basis to ensure that it still reflects your individual personal and financial circumstances
