As a law firm based in Victoria, we believe it’s important to support initiatives that help make legal information more accessible to the community.

Victorian Law Week is a state-wide program of events held across Victoria, both in-person and online, designed to make legal information easier to understand and more accessible to everyone.

There are all kinds of events that cover a wide range of topics, not just estate planning - including family law, employment, consumer rights, and more, helping people better understand their legal rights and responsibilities in everyday life.

If you’re interested, there are some great inclusive and informative events happening throughout the week, both online and in person. You can explore the full program here: https://www.viclawweek.org.au/program

Want future you to thank you?

Estate planning isn’t just about having a Will, it’s about making sure every detail is in place so your loved ones are protected and your wishes are clear.

Updating your documents after life changes, choosing the right executor and reviewing your superannuation nominations are small steps that make a huge difference down the track!

Starting now, even if it’s just one thing at a time, your future self (and your family) will be grateful for the clarity, security and peace of mind you’ve created 💚

Many people assume their superannuation will automatically be dealt with under their Will, but that isn’t always the case.

In some situations, your super fund may have discretion over who receives your superannuation death benefit unless you have a valid binding nomination in place.

Reviewing your superannuation is an important part of ensuring your estate planning reflects your wishes.

No one plans to get sick.
No one plans to lose capacity.
No one plans to die unexpectedly.

But planning for the possibility can make all the difference.

Here are 7 things worth checking before the long weekend:

#1 Do you actually have a valid Will?
If you don’t, the law decides who inherits your estate.

#2 Is your executor still the right person?
Would they cope with paperwork, pressure and potential family conflict?

#3 Who would manage your finances if you couldn’t?
Without an Enduring Power of Attorney, your family may need to apply to a tribunal just to step in.

#4 Who can make medical decisions for you?
Have you legally appointed a Medical Treatment Decision Maker?

#5 Have you checked your super nominations lately?
Your super doesn’t automatically form part of your estate.

6 Have your documents kept up with your life?
Marriage. Separation. Children. Property.
All are good reasons to review.

7 Would anyone know where to find your documents?
Even the best plan is ineffective if no one can access it.

Estate planning isn’t about being organised for yourself — it’s about making things easier for the people you love.

If your “life admin” has been sitting on the to-do list, you’re not alone. We’re here to guide you through it, step by step 💚

Happy International Women’s Day ✨

Today is a celebration of the strength, resilience and contributions of women - in our families, our communities and our workplaces.

Women are building careers, raising families, supporting loved ones, caring for ageing parents, running businesses, and making decisions that shape not only their own futures, but the futures of those around them.

Often, they are also the ones who step into the role of organiser, advocate and decision-maker when it matters most.

Legacy isn’t always about the big milestones. Sometimes it’s found in the quiet ways we look after one another, plan ahead, and try to make life a little easier for the people we care about.

Here’s to lifting each other up, supporting one another through every stage of life, and continuing to make a positive impact.

You may have heard the term “testamentary trust” before, but it’s not always clear what it actually means.

In simple terms, it’s a structure within a Will that allows assets to be managed for your beneficiaries over time, rather than being received outright in one lump sum.

For some families, this can provide an added layer of flexibility and protection - particularly where beneficiaries are younger, vulnerable, or where long-term planning is important.

Estate planning isn’t one-size-fits-all. The right structure depends on your circumstances.

You might like to save this post to revisit when reviewing your own estate planning.

DIY or Online Wills: cheap upfront, but are they costly later?

It can be tempting to grab a quick online or Post Office Will, but small mistakes can create big problems.

Even minor errors can:
- Make your Will invalid under Victorian law
- Cause family disputes over unclear wording
- Leave assets unprotected (super, businesses, blended families)

A professionally drafted Will ensures your wishes are respected, your loved ones are cared for, and your family avoids unnecessary stress both legal and emotional.

Peace of mind is priceless 💸

Do you actually know what a testamentary trust is? 🤔

It’s one of those estate planning terms people hear all the time… but rarely stop to fully understand. And yet, for many families, it can play a powerful role in how assets are protected, managed, and passed on after you’re gone.

If you’ve ever wondered what they are and why they’re useful, we’ve broken it down in a simple, easy-to-understand guide.

💗 Love is caring, even when the conversation is uncomfortable.�

Valentine’s Day is about celebrating your relationship, but it’s also a good reminder to protect it.

If something happened to you tomorrow:�- Would your partner be looked after the way you intend?�- Does your Will actually reflect your current relationship?

Estate planning is one of the most caring things you can do for your partner.

💬 Have you and your partner ever talked about your Will?

09/02/2026

Valentine’s Day is about love, and planning ahead is part of caring for your partner and family.

Red flags we often see:�• Your Will doesn’t reflect your current relationship�• It hasn’t been reviewed in years�• You assume your partner is automatically covered�• Your superannuation hasn’t been considered�• You’ve had the conversation, but nothing is formalised.

Love is thoughtful. Planning is protective 💚

If you’re unsure whether your estate plan still reflects your life today, it may be time for a review.
