A will is a written legal document in which you state how you want your property to be distributed after you die. A will enables you to nominate an executor who will ensure that your wishes which are set out in your will are met.
It is important to ensure that upon death your property and assets are transferred to the people of your choice and that your family and loved ones are properly provided for.
Should you die without a will your property and assets will be distributed by the State and in some cases your estate may be passed onto the Crown. Without a Will, your family and loved ones may be left out in the cold and this is certainly not something you want to envision for them in the future.
Therefore, a will involves important planning in order to save time and provide certainty for the future in that should the inevitable happen, your true wishes and intentions are respected.
We prepare wills ranging from simple “husband and wife” wills to complex testamentary trusts
Obtaining probate is a technical legal process. Mistakes are easy to make and expensive to rectify. Should you try to do this yourself you could easily end up with “requisitions” from the Supreme Court Probate Office. We have extensive experience in obtaining grants of probate and assisting in resolving disputes that sometimes arise.
