Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
A wills and estates lawyer provides legal advice and services related to the preparation of wills, estate planning, probate, and the administration of estates. They help ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes and that legal requirements are met.
It is recommended to review and update your will every few years or whenever there is a significant change in your life, such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, or a substantial change in your financial situation.
If you die without a will, your estate will be distributed according to the intestacy laws of NSW. This may result in your assets being distributed in a way that does not reflect your wishes. A valid will ensures that your estate is managed according to your preferences.
Estate planning involves organising your assets to minimise taxes, protect against creditors, and ensure that your wealth is preserved for future generations. This can include setting up trusts, gifting assets, and making strategic financial decisions.
You can contest a will if you believe it does not accurately reflect the deceased’s intentions or if you have been unfairly left out. Common grounds for contesting a will include lack of testamentary capacity, undue influence, and fraud.
Probate is the legal process of validating a will and administering the estate. The duration of probate can vary depending on the complexity of the estate, but it typically takes several months to a year. Our lawyers assist executors with the probate process to ensure timely and accurate administration.
