Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Do I really need a Will?

Yes. A Will ensures your assets go to the people you choose and that your wishes are followed. Without one, the law decides who inherits your property and this may not be consistent with your wishes.

2. What happens if I die without a Will?

If you don’t have a valid Will, you die “intestate.” This means your estate is distributed according to NSW law, which may not reflect your wishes. It can create delays, extra costs and added stress for your loved ones.

3. What can I include in my Will?

Your Will can cover who receives your assets, who will care for your children and pets, nominate your executor and detail your funeral wishes.

4. Who should I appoint as my executor?

Your executor should be someone you trust, who is organised, reliable and willing to take on the role. This could be a family member or a good friend.

5. When should I make or update my Will?

You should make or review your Will when your circumstances change, such as buying property, entering or leaving a relationship, or having children. It’s also a good idea to review it every 3 – 5 years, to ensure it is still relevant to your needs.

6. Is a DIY Will kit good enough?

DIY Will kits can be risky, especially if you have real property or a blended family. They often miss important legal requirements or fail to cover complex family structures. A professionally drafted Will helps ensure your wishes are valid and reduces the risk of disputes

7. Are Wills inclusive of LGBTQ+ relationships and families?

Yes, but only if properly drafted. A Will is especially important for de facto couples, same-sex couples, blended families and chosen family structures, to ensure your wishes are recognised.

8. Can my Will be challenged?

Yes, certain people can make a claim if they believe they have not been adequately provided for. Proper legal advice can reduce the risk of a successful challenge.

9. What is the difference between a Will and a Power of Attorney?

A Will deals with what happens after you pass away, while a Power of Attorney allows someone to make financial and legal decisions on your behalf, while you are alive.
