We were proud to sponsor the RRR -The Rural, Regional, Remote Women's Network of Western Australia High Tea at Dowerin Machinery Field Days last week.

Matilda was joined by Vanessa Scott from Ord Minnett for the panel discussion in which we shared some valuable reminders for rural women when it comes to understanding and planning for the future of your farm business:

🌱 Be informed. Understand how your farm business is structured, your role within it and what assets you’re entitled to. If you’re unsure, speak with your advisers or key decision-makers.

🌱 Don’t wait for a crisis. Start planning early and consider investing in off-farm assets to help build financial security for the future.

🌱 You don’t have to know everything. Your advisers are there to support you and stay up to date with industry, market and legislative changes.

We’re proud to support conversations that help rural women feel informed, prepared and confident about their future.

Thank you to the RRR Network, Ord Minnett and everyone who joined us at Dowerin.

We’ve had a strong relationship with the RRR -The Rural, Regional, Remote Women's Network of Western Australia for many years and have always valued the opportunity to support rural women and regional communities.

Succession planning is an important conversation for farming families, and we’re proud to support those conversations and help make the process a little easier.

What is a Deed of Family Arrangement?

A Deed of Family Arrangement is a binding agreement that can help families formally document decisions and manage succession planning.

In this video, Matilda explains how these agreements can be used to set out agreed outcomes and facilitate important arrangements, including the transfer of land or the allocation of positions within trusts and companies.

If you’re considering succession planning for your family or business, contact Bailiwick Legal to discuss how we can help.

What happens to your estate if you die without a Will?

Without a valid Will, your estate will be managed and distributed according to the rules of intestacy set out in the Administration Act. This means your assets may not be distributed in the way you would have chosen.

In this video, Matilda explains who may be appointed to administer your estate and how the rules of intestacy determine who may inherit your assets.

Taking the time to put a valid Will in place can help provide clarity and ensure your wishes are known.

Contact Bailiwick Legal to discuss your Will and estate planning needs.

Succession planning can feel like a big conversation, but starting early and getting the right foundations in place can make the process smoother for everyone involved.

In this video, Matilda shares three key tips:

đź’¬ Start the conversation early and include the whole family.
🏢 Review your business structures and clarify everyone’s roles.
đź“‹ Understand which assets are personally owned and which belong to the business.

Good succession planning starts with clear communication and a shared understanding of what comes next.

What happens if you don’t have a valid Will?

When someone passes away without a valid Will, their estate is subject to the rules of intestacy, which can make the process of managing and distributing their assets more complicated for their loved ones.

In this video, Matilda explains what dying intestate means and the role a family member or other person may need to take on to administer the estate.

Having a valid and up-to-date Will can help ensure your wishes are clearly documented and make things easier for those you leave behind.
