In Victoria, a Will is a legal document that sets out how a person’s assets are to be distributed upon their death. It allows individuals to specify beneficiaries, appoint executors to manage the estate, and express wishes regarding the care of dependants. Creating a Will helps to ensure that your final wishes are respected and helps to prevent disputes among surviving family members. It is advisable to regularly update your Will to reflect changes in circumstances such as marriage, the birth of children, or significant financial changes.
It is also important to consider powers of attorney, so that there is someone with authority to make decisions on your behalf, if you become unable to do so. We can assist you with making Ensuring Powers of Attorney for financial and personal matters, and the Appointment of Medical Treatment Decision Maker for medical matters.
