We understand that preparing a Will can lead to quite a few questions – which is great! We are here to help you understand the process, answer questions and help navigate you through.
Below we have the answers for our most frequently asked questions, but if you need a little more help or still can’t find the information you’re looking for, please email us on [email protected] and we will answer any questions you have.

A Will is the best way to prepare for the unexpected. You can be clear about who gets your assets, how much, and when. You can ensure your assets don’t go to the wrong people i.e. like an estranged relative or an ex-partner. You can choose who should care for your children if they are still underage. A Will gives you control over how you want your estate distributed when you’re no longer around.
If you pass away without a Will, the state where you live determines how your property is distributed when you pass away. This includes any bank accounts, securities, real estate, and any other assets you own at the time. It can be costly and messy for your family member to have to go to court and prove their relationship with you. This could become more complicated if multiple family members fight to have control of your assets – complicated can also mean more costly.
