Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in estate planning?

Estate planning is a comprehensive process that encompasses the creation of a will, establishing Powers of Attorney and Guardianship documents, setting up trusts and organising your financial and legal affairs to ensure that your wishes are honoured and your loved ones are provided for in your absence.
Why is a will important?

A will is a legally binding document that details how you wish your assets to be distributed after your passing. It's vital as it provides clear instructions to help prevent disputes among your loved ones and ensures that your estate is managed according to your intentions.
What happens if I don't have a Will?

Without a will, your assets will be distributed according to the laws of intestacy, which may not reflect your personal wishes. This can lead to complications and possible family conflicts, as well as a more prolonged and costly administrative process.
Can a will be contested?

Yes, a will can be contested if there are concerns over its validity, the mental capacity of the person who made the will, undue influence, or if dependents have not been adequately provided for. Legal advice should be sought in such circumstances to navigate these challenges.
