Wills & Estate

Creating a Will In the event of your death, a will ensures your assets are correctly distributed to your loved ones. If you suspect your will may be contested, it's important to ensure its legally binding prior to your passing. You will need to nominate an executor (someone that ensures your wishes are carried out. Often, it's best to select someone who is not emotionally invested in your assets. Talk to us today about drawing up a will today.

Contesting A Will

This is becoming an ever expanding part of legal practice. The law provides that if you feel that you have not been adequately provided for in a will you may have a right to claim for a greater share. These are commonly called Family Provision Claims and if your need can be demonstrated then you may have a claim an you need to seek advice promptly as there is a 12 month time limit.


The validity of a will may be contested on certain grounds such as duress or the deceased not having capacity and you may be able to have the will declared null and void.

Probate

In some instances when a death occurs, in order to ensure the person's last wishes are carried out, probate may be required. Probate (as defined in The Australian Commercial dictionary) is the official grant of the court to an executor of the right to deal with the testator's property. The executor proves the will and receives a grant of probate. In many instances a Grant of Probate is not required but this will depend on the assets of the estate and the requirement of the financial institutions or banks.
