Have You Made Your Will?
Most of us insure our homes, our cars and our health — yet many Queenslanders still don’t have a valid will in place.
Under the Succession Act 1981, if you pass away without a will, your estate is distributed according to a fixed legal formula. That formula may not reflect your wishes — particularly in blended families, second relationships, or where step-children and long-term partners are involved.
A properly prepared will allows you to:
• Decide who receives your assets
• Appoint a trusted executor
• Nominate guardians for minor children
• Reduce the risk of disputes
• Provide clarity and certainty for your family
Without one, your loved ones may face additional cost, delay and stress — including applications to the Supreme Court of Queensland to administer your estate.
Estate planning is not just for the elderly or the wealthy. If you own property, have superannuation, operate a business, or have family members who rely on you, a will is essential.
We encourage you to attend our office to have your wills professionally prepared. It is a straightforward process, and it provides lasting peace of mind.
If you have been meaning to “get around to it,” consider this your reminder — your future self, and your family, will thank you.
