Yes, absolutely - If you are over the age of 18 years, yes you need a Will.

A correctly drafted and valid Will ensures that your wishes are carried out in the event of your death. If you die without a Will, legislation dictates who will control your estate which may not be what you want, or in some cases may be completely inappropriate for your circumstances.

There are many different types of Wills, so it is important to have a professional lawyer with experience in Estate Planning draft your Will so that it meets your needs and objectives. An ineffective Will may give assets to those you did not want to benefit, may create substantial and unnecessary tax bills and may create a Will dispute upon your death.

A Will can allow you to choose who will manage your estate and how, who will inherit your assets and who will care for your minor children.

Don’t have a Will? Passing away without a valid Will can create difficulty and costly delays for your loved ones left behind.

There are many benefits of having a correctly drafted and valid Will including:

Choose who you want to inherit your assets
Choose who you want to care for minor children
Minimise tax payable
Avoid difficulty and costly delays
Make sure your wishes are carried out
Avoid Will or estate disputes
