Wills and Estate Planning for Canberra Queanbeyan and district

Are your wishes for your estate clearly understood?

Will Preparation

A Will is a legal document which states who will receive your property, money and possessions when you die. If you have a good, valid Will you give yourself the best chance of making sure your assets will go where you want them to and also to people who are dependent on you.

Many people think that it is easy to make a Will and that they can do it themselves, how ever a will is a legal document and must comply with all State and Territory legislation.

If there is a problem with a Will and it is found to be invalid then your wishes may not be carried out. It may also lead to delay, uncertainty and additional stress to the family at a time of bereavement and disruption at home. Elringtons will make sure that your will is properly drafted, signed, witnessed and complete.
