FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

While it’s legally possible to prepare your own Will, mistakes can be costly and may invalidate your Will entirely. Professional Will preparation ensures your document meets all legal requirements, clearly expresses your wishes, and minimises the risk of disputes. The cost of professional preparation is minimal compared to the potential problems of a DIY Will.

Your Will should be reviewed whenever you experience major life changes such as marriage, divorce, births, deaths, significant asset changes, or moving states. We recommend reviewing your Will every 3-5 years to ensure it remains current with your circumstances and any changes in the law.

Clear, comprehensive estate planning significantly reduces the risk of family disputes after your death. We draft Wills that minimise ambiguity and ensure fair provision, helping preserve family relationships. Learn about will disputes we help resolve

Simple Wills can typically be prepared within 1-2 weeks from our initial meeting. More complex estate planning involving trusts or business succession may take 3-4 weeks. We’ll provide you with a realistic timeline based on your specific requirements during your consultation.

We believe in transparent pricing with no surprises. During your initial consultation, we’ll provide a clear cost estimate based on your specific situation. Many of our services offer fixed-fee options for straightforward Wills, while complex estate planning is billed at competitive hourly rates. We always explain costs upfront before you commit.

If you die without a Will (intestate) in NSW, your assets are distributed according to a predetermined formula set by law. This may not reflect your actual wishes and can create complications for your family. The court appoints an administrator to manage your estate, which can be time-consuming and expensive.

A Will is one component of comprehensive estate planning. While a Will directs how your assets are distributed after death, estate planning includes strategies for incapacity, tax minimisation, asset protection, and succession planning. We help you understand what level of planning is right for your situation.
