Frequently asked questions about Wills
A Will is an important legal document that details your wishes for when you pass away. It contains instructions for who you want to inherit your estate, any guardianship or care arrangements for minor children, and who should be in charge of distributing your estate in the role of Executor. A Last Will and Testament is vital for all Australians to ensure your estate and legacy is properly taken care of when you pass away.
Dying without a valid Will is known as 'dying intestate'. Your estate will be handled and distributed according to which intestacy laws apply in your state- this means that your wishes may or may not be adhered to, and could end up costing your loved ones both significant financial, emotional, and legal stress in the long term.
To write your Will, you will need to be organised and make a few key decisions. Think about, or put together a list of all of your assets, including property, bank accounts, and investments; this makes it easier to decide on beneficiaries and specific bequests you wish to make to individuals or charity. In the case of minor children or other dependents, decide on a guardian or guardians and any wishes you have for their future. Safewill guides you through this process in a simple and straightforward way, so there’s nothing you forget and no prep work required!
Remember to keep your Will updated when big life changes occur, such as divorce, marriage, or the birth of new children- it's free, and ensures that the right wishes are carried out when you pass away.
An Executor is the person responsible for carrying out the wishes in your Will, and as such should be someone you trust. They’ll be following your instructions and performing all the legal and financial actions required to administer your estate. Generally, people nominate a family member, close friend, or a professional.
Yes. Online Wills share the same requirements for validity as a paper-based DIY Will, or a lawyer drafted Will. Once you finish the process, you’ll need to print and sign your Will in front of two independent witnesses, so that it’s correctly executed.
Safewill utilises best in class, military grade encryption and privacy practises to ensure your data stays where it belongs- protected and just for you.
