Legal
Wills & Deceased Estate by Family Lawyers in
Brisbane
 Why have a properly drafted
Legal Will?
Without a Will you will die "intestate". This
means that your assets will be distributed according to rigid
formulae set out in government legislation. If your Will is
not properly drafted or correctly signed it may be ineffective and
cause your family even more financial and emotional
distress.
If you have a Legal Will, when should you
review it?
You should review
your Will regularly, at least every three years, and particularly
when circumstances change such as marriage, separation, divorce, on
the birth of children or grandchildren, death of a beneficiary or
executor.
Why should I
have an Enduring Power of Attorney?
Under an Enduring
Power of Attorney you may give your attorney the power to deal with
all or any part of your financial, personal and health
matters. You cannot appoint an attorney unless you have
mental capacity, so an attorney one should be appointed while you
are healthy. A Power of Attorney is just as important as
having a Will. While a Will operates on your death, a power
of attorney operates during your lifetime.
We can put your mind
at ease when it comes to the drawing up of your Will and Enduring
Power of Attorney or Advanced Health Directive. We also offer
professional advice and services for administration of deceased
estates.
