In some cases, Wills can be contested and determined to be invalid due to errors or omissions. This is just of the many reasons that your Will should be drafted by an experienced lawyer.

If you have a Will, it should be updated following significant life changing events including marriage, remarriage, separation, divorce, the birth of a child, the death of your partner or spouse. This will ensure that your Will continues to accurately reflect your wishes. Generally speaking, it is good practice to review the contents of your Will every five to seven years.

If you do not have a valid Will in operation at the time of your death the Public Trustee may be appointed to manage the Estate and will charge a fee to do so. In this case, your true wishes may not be taken into account.

The potential cost of not having a valid Will is insignificant when compared with the cost of preparing one.
