Do I need a Will?

Do you need a will? YES!  

Unfortunately, no-one lives forever and therefore every person, regardless of age or wealth must have a Will.

Subject to your personal and financial circumstances your Will can be simple or complex and should be reviewed every 5 years or so or as a result of a change in your personal or financial circumstances.

A Will is a document that sets out your wishes in the event of your death. A Will deals with things such as:

  • Appointing an Executor (the person who is responsible for managing and finalising your Estate after you pass away).
  • Gifting your assets to your choice of beneficiaries.  
  • Nominating a guardian to care for your children.
  • Nominating a person to care for your pets.
  • Directions regarding your funeral and burial arrangements.
  • And many other things.

There are also certain legal requirements that must be satisfied to ensure your Will is valid and our team of Estate Planning lawyers can guide you through this process and ensure that your Will satisfies all legal requirements.
