Wills and Estates

What is a Will?

A Will is an extremely important legal document that contains instructions as to how you wish for your estate assets to be distributed once you pass away. Ensuring that you prepare a valid Will is the only way that you can guarantee that your assets will be distributed according to your wishes after your death.

What is the purpose of a Will?

While the primary purpose of your last Will and testament is to distribute any assets you own in the event of your death, it may also legally specify a number of other provisions, including: -

• Who will be the Executor of the Will;
• Assigning the guardians of your children and their property;
• Naming who the beneficiaries are on the Will. This can include any person, family member, friend, organisation or institution;
• Decide between the choice of cremation or burial;
• Leave instructions for the payment of debts and taxes.
