What happens if I don't have a Will?

If you pass away without a Will, the law (known as the Rules of Intestacy) sets out how your assets will be distributed and who will receive your assets.

Often, the Rules of Intestacy will result in your assets being distributed significantly different to how you would prefer and the only way to prevent this is to have a valid Will.

Other factors such as second marriages or relationships, the death of family members and step children will impact how your assets will be distributed in accordance with the Rules of Intestacy.

In addition to the risk of your assets being distributed differently to how you would have intended, the increased cost and time involved in finalizing an Estate where there is no Will makes the process far more difficult for the family you leave behind.

Very happy with how my mothers Estate was handled. Staff are professional with everything you ask of them. I have dealt with Marsdens on 3 separate occasions this year for 3 different services and would highly recommend to anyone.

Jane Bradley

Thankyou so much for the advice and guidance you provided us recently. Your professionalism and expertise made updating our very out of date Wills an easy process. Time moves along and so much changes in life that sees our children becoming adults, starting lives with partners and having their own children and suddenly we are grandparents. Mortgag... Read morees get paid down and assets accumulate and we now feel reassured that our wishes on our passing will be fulfilled. Taking the opportunity to also provide for our wellbeing in the future through arranging Power of Attorney and Enduring Guardianship documents at this time also provides peace of mind for both of us, as well as our family. Thankyou Krystle and Marsdens Law Group.

Julie and I would like to thank Kiara and Marsdens for your professional and friendly approach to both mum and dad's passing. It's been a tough time losing both parents within 12 months but the process was made easier working with you and the group.
