ESTATE PLANNING LAWYERS BRISBANE

Regardless of your wealth, every adult Australian should consider making a Will.

 

A Will is a document that details how you wish your property to be divided in the event of your death.

Having a Will ensures that your property is gifted on your death as you intended.  Where a person dies with a valid Will the administration of their estate is streamlined and often finalised more quickly than when a person dies without a Will.  The costs incurred in administering your estate are also likely to be less if you have a Will.

Planning for death is something many people struggle to discuss.  Consequently, preparing an estate plan is something often overlooked or, if done, not given much thought.

An estate plan is a term used to refer to a more comprehensive end of life arrangement.  Typically, when making an estate plan you would consider completing some or all of the following documents:

• A Will;
• A Letter of Wishes to the guardian appointed in your Will;
• An Enduring Power of Attorney;
• An Advance Health Directive;
• Superannuation Binding Death Benefit Nominations.
