Creating a legal Will
Don’t leave it until it’s too late…
It is easy to continue putting off the process of writing a Will, but it is important to consider and plan for prior to anything unexpected happening.
Orman Solicitors are experts in creating legal Wills, and can help to take away the difficulty or stress associated with writing a Will. We will ensure that you understand the assets covered by a Will, and how to avoid any dispute or confusion between your beneficiaries.
With Orman Solicitors we can help you write a Will that is valid according to Australian and state law, and clearly expresses your wishes in regards to your property and possessions.
It is a good idea to involve your solicitor whenever you want to write a Will, or make changes to your existing one, to ensure that it is legally binding, accurately expressed so nothing is left to chance, and is kept in a safe place and able to be located in the event of your death.
Why a Will is so important:
Poorly written Wills can result in months, or potentially years of dispute after your passing.
If you’re aged 18 or over, ensuring that you have a current and valid Will is the best way to ensure that those you love most, and care for, are adequately provided for once you pass away. It is one of the most important documents you will ever sign.
A Will is much more than a document stating who will receive your personal belongings if you were to pass. It’s a way for you to communicate exactly how you want your estate to be distributed between family, friends and/or charities. It is recommended that you update or create a new Will whenever there has been a change in circumstances, to ensure that your Will is current with your wishes.
If you die without a valid Will, the intestacy rules that apply from the Australian and State law will determine how your assets are distributed.
