Making a Will

Australian law gives you the right to make a Will.  You can make sure your assets are distributed according to your wishes.  Making a Will while you are still enjoying sound mental health means you make these important decisions before it’s too late.  Writing a Will forces us to accept that life is not eternal and we find it easier to avoid the task than face the fact.  Not having a Will is not only inconsiderate but may also cause unnecessary trauma for the people you leave behind when you die.  Even if you have made a Will previously, your circumstances may have changed.  By making a Will that is current is just good sense.

If you die without a Will

If you die without a Will you are considered to have died ‘intestate’.  If you die intestate the government uses a standard formula to distribute an intestate persons estate. The formula does not make any allowance for how much people meant to you or how prominent they were in your day-to-day life.  It does not take into consideration the value that you placed on individual possessions and who was to receive that special gift.  Disputes often occur where there is no Will and are sometimes fought in court.  Legal action is expensive and the cost may come out of your estate, further reducing the amount that ends up going to your loved ones.  To avoid costly legal battles, family arguments and disagreements it is important that you make sure you write a Will that is legal.  It is the most caring thing you can do to help your family and friends cope with the pain of losing you.

Why it makes good sense to write your own Will

Everyone should have a current legal Will.  Many people put off writing a Will because they prefer not to think about their death.  Sooner or later, everyone needs a legal Will.  Every person who is an adult should consider making a Will and ensure the document is legally valid, up to date and safely stored.
