A Will is a legal document that only operates after your death to direct how your assets should be distributed. A properly drafted, up-to-date Will is the only way you can be sure your assets will be dealt with and your loved ones cared for in the way you choose.It is tremendously important that you have a valid Will. Having a valid Will gives you the power to distribute your assets to whom and in what manner you wish.

If you die without a valid Will, intestacy provisions will automatically apply. If this occurs, your Estate may pass to people who you do not wish to benefit and people you do wish to benefit may miss out.

Preparing a valid Will with one of our lawyers is the best way to ensure you are aware of all your testamentary options including:

• Who you want to look after your Estate and act as your executor
• What items and assets you can leave in your Will and to who and when
• Payment of debts or liabilities
• Whether different types of testamentary trusts may be appropriate
• Guardianship of children
• Whether you wish to be cremated or buried
