WILLS

Wills

Your Will is the most important document you will likely ever prepare.  It tells everyone how you want your estate to be dealt with after your death.

Your Will

Don’t have a Will?

If you don’t have a Will, in Queensland the Succession Act will specify how your estate is dealt with. For example, if you have a spouse and children when you die, your spouse gets $150,000.00 and the household chattels and the rest of your estate is then shared with your surviving children.

Recently separated from a de-facto spouse, got divorced, began a de-facto relationship, or got married?

Your Will may have been revoked in part, or entirely, because of your change in relationship status, which could result in the gifts in your Will failing, or beneficiaries receiving portions of your Estate that are not consistent with your wishes.

As you can see, this may not be the outcome you want upon your death. Wills can be simple or complex documents, and we will work with you to find out your needs, risks, financial position and assets so that your Will is prepared in a timely and effective manner.

Make an appointment today to come to our Townsville, Cairns or Ingham office to discuss your Will.
