Frequently Asked Questions

What is a will?

A will (also known as a ‘last will and testament’) is a legal document that sets out how you want your assets to be distributed after your death. It also appoints an executor (called a ‘personal representative’) who will manage and distribute the estate according to your wishes.
What other estate planning instruments can I create?

In addition to creating a will, you may want to consider creating other estate planning instruments, such as trusts or powers of attorney. Trusts can help minimise taxes owed on estates and protect assets from creditors. Powers of attorney allow you to appoint someone to make decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated.
What is probate?

Probate is the legal process of validating a person’s will and administering their estate after death. This includes locating and evaluating all assets, paying any debts or taxes owed and then distributing the assets according to the terms of the will. Probate can be a lengthy and complicated procedure, so it is important to speak with an experienced attorney who can help guide you through the process.
Why is estate planning important?

Estate planning is important to ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes when you pass away. With effective estate planning, you can also reduce the amount of taxes owed on estates and minimise conflicts among family members. Additionally, an estate plan can provide for the care of minor children or those with special needs and protect personal property from creditors.
