Although, we don’t like to think about it too much, it is important to have an effective Will in place and to review it when your circumstances change.

QHM Lawyers is experienced in the drafting of wills and provision of probate services as follow:

• will preparation;
• applications for probate;
• applications for letters of administration (where a person dies without leaving a will);
• contesting a will or estate (testator family maintenance claims);
• powers of attorney;
• estate and trust administration; and
• charitable bequests, foundations or trusts.

Although there is no legal obligation to make a Will, if you die without leaving a validly signed Will your assets are distributed according to law –the table of intestacy. This may result in your loved ones not receiving the benefit you would have chosen. 

It is especially important to make a Will if you have children aged under 18 years, so that you nominate your preferred guardians and to ensure that arrangements are in place for your child/ren’s maintenance and education.

QHM Lawyers prepares tailored Will’s, depending on individual needs, from $150. 

Do you need a Power of Attorney? Do you have someone you can nominate to make decisions for you when you are overseas and cannot attend to something yourself? If you are ill or have an injury which renders you unable to make decisions for yourself at all, is there someone you could nominate to take on this role?
