Wills and Estates

Are you asking yourself the following questions?

  • How do I determine who gets what or should I have someone else make the decision for me?
  • How do I arrange for specific gifts and items?
  • How do I make arrangements to assist those with gambling, alcohol and other similar illnesses, but not give them cash?
  • How do I ensure the wrong people do not get their hands on my assets i.e. tax, estranged life partners, family members etc?

A Will is a written document that sets out what you want to happen to your possessions (your ‘estate’) after you die. Your estate includes any goods you own at the time of death, including cash, savings and investments.

Marriage, separation and divorce affect the validity of a Will. The Probate Office of the Supreme Court Registry deals with all applications for grants of probate and administration of deceased estates in Victoria.
