In this post, we’re going to give you the Importance of estate planning and current will to ensure your loved ones are taken care of and avoid potentially devastating consequences.
If you die without a Will the law says you have died “intestate”, which means that you have left no valid instructions as to how your property will be distributed. Your estate will (Current Will) then be divided up according to a formula in the legislation.
An up-to-date Estate Plan or Will allows you to:
Your Estate Plan and/or Will should be reviewed every 2 (two) years at least or upon any of the following circumstances changing:
If you or your partner has children from a previous relationship then we recommend you seek our advice in relation to your Estate Plan and Will. Wills for blended families can be more complex as the testator usually wants to provide for both their children and their current spouse, which can require particularly careful planning.
We will take care of the process for you, including:
The cost involved in an estate plan review and the preparation of a Current Will depends on individual circumstances and how complex the Will needs to be in order to effectively deal with your individual circumstances. The Will is only one element of a broader process.
We do however offer very reasonable fees for an estate plan review and Will preparation.
When you consider the peace of mind you will have in knowing everything is in order in the event of your death; the cost of drafting your Will is not an expensive outlay.
An Estate Plan and a Current Will is some of the most important documents you will make in your lifetime and without professional advice, you could unintentionally leave your family with very complicated, difficult and expensive issues to resolve.
