Estate planning goes beyond having a will and power of attorney. Often what is required is a detailed plan that considers the succession of each asset.

Making a will in Queensland is a simple process, and there are a few steps you can take to ensure that your wishes are reflected in your will. Here is a general guide on how to make a will in Queensland:

Determine what assets you have: Before making a will, you should identify all your assets, including property, bank accounts, investments, and personal belongings.

Decide who you want to inherit your assets: Consider who you want to leave your assets to, including family members, friends, or charitable organizations.

Choose an executor: Select someone to be the executor of your will, who will be responsible for administering your estate after your death.

Consult with an experienced estate lawyer: A lawyer can provide legal advice on your options and help you draft a legally binding will.

Sign your will: Once your will is drafted, you will need to sign it in the presence of two witnesses who are not beneficiaries of your will.

Keep your will in a safe place: Make sure to keep your will in a secure location and let your executor know where to find it when the time comes.

It's important to keep your will up-to-date, especially if your circumstances change, such as if you get married, have children, or acquire new assets. An experienced estate lawyer can provide guidance on updating your will as needed.

Happy new year, Everyone!

On behalf of my family and I, an enormous Thank You to the local community for your overwhelming support last year.

After reflecting on 2021, I took some necessary time over the break to work with my son to implement new technology / processes for the business. These initiatives will improve service and turn around times, particularly for clients needing wills, powers of attorney and AHD.

For those requiring my services, please feel free to reach out to me. I am still available to meet with you 7 days a week at a location that works for you.

Thanks again and have a great week.
