“Over 50% of adult Australians do not have a valid Will*. If you pass away without a Will, your assets will get distributed in accordance with laws of your State Government, giving you no chance to control what happens to your estate.”

You can donate your assets to charity, give them to loved ones, or make any distribution in between; all you have to do is state what you want to happen within the context of a simple Will.

FAQ

01Do I need a Will?

Everyone over the age of 18 should have a Will. If you do not have a Will, your assets may end up with someone you did not want to benefit. Intestacy laws will govern the distribution of your assets – i.e. the order in which your eligible spouse or relatives will inherit your Estate.

In NSW, for example, if you die with a new partner and you have children from a previous relationship, then your Estate will be divided between your new partner and your children – even though it might have been your intention to give everything to your children.


02Would someone be able to contest my Will?

Generally speaking, you have the right to dispose of your property as you see fit. However, the Court does have the power to intervene if an eligible person (usually, your spouse or children) makes a claim against your Estate and the Court is convinced that you did not give them adequate provision. What is sufficient in the circumstances depends on issues such as what contributions they made towards you in your lifetime, what financial need they have, the size of your Estate and the competing claims of others. The relevant factors will depend on the circumstances of the case and, as this is a technical area, it is best to seek the advice of a solicitor if you are concerned about someone contesting your Estate.


03When would I need to change my Will?

You should review your Will every 2 to 3 years or after every major life event such as:

  • Getting married or divorced
  • Having children
  • Buying and selling property
  • Starting a business
  • Death of your proposed executor or beneficiary

We can help advise whether your Will is valid and whether it should be updated.

You do not need to change your Will due to a change of address.


04What assets are not covered by my Will?

There are certain assets that you control in your lifetime that you cannot pass in your Will. These are called non-estate assets.

Examples include:

  • assets you own as joint tenants with another person (where the other person survives you);
  • assets which are paid directly to a superannuation dependent in the event of your death; and
  • assets in a family trust.

05Are Online Wills Valid in Australia?

Yes, our online Wills, if correctly filled out, are considered valid legal documents in Australia, pertaining to Australian assets. Online Wills allow you to craft a legally sound Will through a simple process. This gives you the peace of mind you need while also helping you get writing your Will off your to-do list. That said, it’s best to go through a trusted law firm like Chamberlains when creating an online Will to ensure that you use the appropriate language and that all your final wishes are clearly laid out, and that you have the support you need if you have extra questions or concerns.


06Are Online Wills a Good Idea?

Yes, online Wills are a great way to ensure that your Will fits in with your last wishes and that it is easy to complete. The guided system, set up by our legal experts, can help you ensure that you have all the right parties included in your Will, that you properly lay out any special gifts, and that your estate will be distributed correctly.
