Why You Need a Will Lawyer in NSW

A professionally drafted Will ensures your wishes are followed after you pass away. Specifically, our NSW Will lawyers create clear, legally binding documents to avoid disputes. For instance, a well-drafted Will can:

• Protect Your Assets: Distribute your property, savings, or investments as you intend.
• Care for Loved Ones: Appoint guardians for children or support family members.
• Simplify Estate Administration: Reduce costs and delays for your beneficiaries.

Without a Will, you die “intestate,” and your estate may be distributed by court rules, not your wishes. Learn more about estate disputes at the Supreme Court of NSW contested estates page.

Who Should You Appoint as Executor?

Choosing an executor is a key decision. For example, you can appoint someone you trust, like a family member or friend, to carry out your Will’s instructions. Our Will lawyers in NSW guide you to select a reliable executor, ensuring your estate is managed smoothly.

When to Update Your Will in NSW

Life changes require Will updates to reflect your current wishes. Therefore, you should update your Will when:

• Marriage or Divorce: A new spouse or divorce may affect your Will’s validity.
• Children: A birth, adoption, or child reaching 18 changes guardianship or inheritance plans.
• Beneficiary or Executor Changes: A death or unfit executor requires updates.
• Asset or Tax Changes: Significant changes in asset value or tax laws, as outlined by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), may impact your estate.

Why Avoid DIY Will Kits?

DIY Will kits or self-drafted Wills often lead to ambiguity, risking legal challenges. For instance, unclear wording can result in costly disputes among beneficiaries. Our NSW Will lawyers draft precise, legally sound Wills to prevent such issues, saving your estate time and money.
