Why should you write a will?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Have you bought a new home, gotten married or become new parents. You could also want to avoid conflicts after your death, or to give a specific gift to a family member or friend. A will can help you in most of these events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without a will, you pass on an inheritance. What’s more, the assets of your estate are subject to statutory inheritance as contained in Part 3A of the Administration and Probate Act 1919 (SA). The legal provisions do not consider personal wishes and are subject to strict legal orders to manage your property. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wills are important in Australian Law for several reasons:<\/h2>\n\n\n

Wealth distribution<\/h3>\n\n\n

A will states how a person’s assets, like property, investments and possessions, are distributed after their death. A will is essentially a guarantee that people respect your wishes after your passing. So without one, your assets are subject to the laws of inheritance.
<\/p>\n\n\n

Appointment of an executor<\/h3>\n\n\n

Besides stating your wishes, you can appoint an executor in your will. This person’s job is to carry out your instuctions. In addition, they will also follow your wishes when it comes to wealth distribution.
<\/p>\n\n\n

Child guardianship<\/h3>\n\n\n

You can appoint a guardian for your children who will take care of them if you pass before they reach the age of majority. This way, someone you trust will be looking after your children.
<\/p>\n\n\n

Avoid family disputes<\/h3>\n\n\n

A clear and legal will helps avoid family disputes after a person’s death. Family members may have different ideas about how a person’s property should be divided. Consequently, this leads to messy lawsuits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, a will provides a legal framework for the distribution of a person’s wealth. Therefore, it is a great way of fulfilling a person’s wishes after their passing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
