Wills are an essential protection for families. To ensure your wishes and funds are made easily available for family members and friends upon in the event of your death.

Making wills is widely understood to be important, but many people don’t realise the full range of implications that can be caused by having either no will, or a will that’s carelessly written.

If you die without a will, the law of the state will decide how to split your assets. Aside from the potential for insufficient long-term provision to be made for your loved ones to pay bills and living costs.  In the worst-case scenario, some or all of your assets could end up going to the state instead of your family or some other institution or persons that you would otherwise have preferred to benefit from your estate.

Poorly-drafted wills can also:

  • Lose the benefit of statutory protection of assets, such as life insurance policies.
  • Trigger a Family Provisions Claim.
  • Leave out people that you would like to benefit from your estate.
  • Give inappropriate gifts to beneficiaries.
  • Lead to long term and expensive administrative that is not appropriate or necessary.

The writing of wills by a Lawyer ensures that assets are distributed according to your wishes, but also that full advantage is taken of legal structures that can protect them and secure the most favourable tax arrangements for your family’s benefit.
