A Will is one of the single most important documents a person can have; yet, so many of us put off dealing with it for far too long.
Many Australian’s assume that they’re “too young” to need a Will.
Some people believe that they don’t own enough assets or have a big enough net worth to necessitate a Will. You might even think it’s too late to start your first Will.
Wills Estate’s mission is to explain that regardless of your age, net worth, or stage in life, having a legally binding Will should be a top priority.
One of the things that puts people off legal documents generally is that they are filled with jargon and heavy language. Sadly that’s true, and in some respects it is unavoidable.
Your will is one of the most important legal documents you’ll ever come across. There are many words and phrases which need to be included in order to have full legal effect, and so that when it comes to interpreting them later on, there is no room for doubt what is intended by them.
That doesn’t mean, however, that you have to learn all the language in order to arrange your affairs. Using a straightforward system such as ours enables you to think about things in your own way, and leave us to turn it into the proper legal form.
Wills Estate steps you through these complexities and makes sure you are covered in case of an unexpected event.
