Wills POA's & ProbateWILLS - POA's (Powers-Of-Attorney) - PROBATE - GUARDIANSHIP AND MANAGEMENT ORDERS- For many, a Will is something you leave "until tomorrow". We always hope tomorrow doesn't come for a very long time.
- Again, Preventative Law principles mean that by having a properly drawn up Will your beneficiaries and the state are not using up your legacy in fighting for assets that were not bequeathed the way you wanted when you were alive.
- Surely you would not like the state to take a percentage of your assets – Public Trustee Wills or leaving NO Will at all [dying intestate] often will result in this occurring.
- For separating couples a Will is vital. Although a dissolution negates a gift to a spouse, it is this in-between time of separation that requires a new Will to fully reflect your current wishes.
- We can draft a Will quickly and inexpensively making sure your wishes are clearly expressed and all legal contingencies are covered. Although Will packages are available from newsagents there are many pitfalls in such documents. This is especially so if there is real estate to be distributed.
- For Country people who have been on the land for years, Succession Planning is an important issue. We can work with experts in this field to give you and your family the best possible advice.
- A POWER OF ATTORNEY is different for each state. We can draft POA's for the A.C.T. and NSW.
