Why everyone over 18 should have a Will

It’s not just for the wealthy — it’s for anyone who wants to make things easier for the people they love.

Many people believe they don’t need a Will until they own a home or reach retirement, but the truth is, everyone over 18 should have one. A Will isn’t about how much you own — it’s about making sure what you do have goes where you want it to, and that your wishes are clear.

What a Will Actually Does

A Will lets you decide:

• Who receives your assets — even if that’s a car, bank account, or sentimental belongings.

• Who you trust to manage your affairs (your executor).

• Who will care for your children, if you have them.

  
  

Without a valid Will, your estate is divided according to NSW intestacy laws — not your wishes. That can mean delays, disputes, and stress for your family during an already difficult time.

It’s Easier Than You Think

Preparing a Will is one of the simplest yet most valuable things you can do. Our team makes the process straightforward — we’ll talk through your wishes, ensure your document meets all legal requirements, and safely store the original for you.

We can also help you prepare Powers of Attorney, Enduring Guardianships, and Advance Care Directives, so every aspect of your future planning is complete.

Peace of Mind for You and Your Family

Life changes — marriage, children, property, even a new job — all affect your estate. If you already have a Will, it’s worth reviewing every few years to ensure it still reflects your circumstances.

A properly drafted Will offers peace of mind that everything will be handled just as you intend.
