FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Get the right advice when you need it most
Why do I need a Will?
-
A Will is a legally binding document that sets out how you want your assets and belongings distributed after your death.
-
It also allows you to appoint an executor to manage your estate and, where applicable, nominate guardians for your children.
-
Having a valid Will helps ensure your wishes are followed and can minimise uncertainty, delays, and potential disputes.
-
A Will isn't just about your assets—it's about protecting the people who matter most. It gives you the opportunity to make important decisions now, providing certainty for your loved ones and peace of mind that your wishes will be honoured when the time comes.
What is probate, and why is it necessary?
Probate is the legal process of validating a will and authorising the executor to distribute the estate. It ensures the proper administration of your assets and debts according to your wishes.
Can I update my will?
Yes, Wills can and should be updated to reflect major life changes, such as marriage, divorce, the birth of children, or significant financial changes.
What happens if someone contests my will?
We assist in defending your Will against claims, ensuring your intentions are upheld while addressing concerns made by potential claimants.
What is an Enduring Power of Attorney?
An Enduring Power of Attorney is a legal document that lets you appoint a person(s) who you trust to make decisions on your behalf for personal or financial matters - or both. Personal decisions do not include matters that relate to medical treatment, or to medical research procedures. To appoint a person for medical decisions you will need to complete the steps involved for a Medical Treatment Decision Maker form.
