25.01.2022 Its `Wills Week in Queensland. The events of 2020 have brought Wills to the front of mind for many people. A Will is perhaps one of the most important legal documents a person will have in their lives. At its most basic level, a Will is a legal document that sets out your wishes as to what will happen to your property, your infant children and other matters after your death.... If you do not have a Will your bereaved family will not only be grieving your passing, but may have to make a Court application to decide how your property will be distributed and who will administer your estate. Potentially, it is possible (depending on your circumstances) that an estranged parent or spouse may be entitled to some of your estate and the parent or partner you would have wanted to receive your Estate may miss out. Hillhouse Legal Partners can assist you to prepare a Will (and other Estate documents) that deals with your unique and personal situation making certain your estate goes to whom you want it to, and ensuring your family have one less issue to worry about.
