Wills & Estates FAQs
Why should I have a Will?
A Will allows you to record how you want your estate dealt with after your death and appoint the person responsible for administering it. Without a valid Will, your estate is distributed according to Queensland’s intestacy laws rather than simply according to informal wishes.
When should I update my Will?
It is sensible to review your Will periodically and when significant circumstances change, such as a marriage, separation, divorce, birth of a child or significant change in your assets or intended beneficiaries. The Queensland Government recommends reviewing your Will regularly.
What is an Enduring Power of Attorney?
An Enduring Power of Attorney allows you to appoint one or more people you trust to make decisions on your behalf. Depending on the document, this may include financial matters and personal matters, including health matters.
What is probate?
Probate is a grant made by the Supreme Court recognising a Will and the executor’s authority to administer the deceased estate. Not every estate requires probate, and whether it is needed will depend on the circumstances and the assets involved.
