Estate planning involves creating legal documents, like wills, powers of attorney and enduring guardianships, to manage your assets and ensure your wishes are followed after your death or in the event you lose capacity to make decisions for yourself. It is crucial for protecting your loved ones and minimising legal complications.

If you die without a will (intestate), your assets are distributed according to NSW intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. This can lead to delays, increased costs, and potential disputes among your heirs.

You should review and update your will after major life events, such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, or significant changes in your financial situation. Regular updates ensure your will reflects your current wishes.

These documents ensure that your financial, legal, and personal decisions are made by someone you trust if you lose capacity. They provide peace of mind and assist to help prevent legal complications during difficult times.

An Executor is responsible for managing your estate, paying debts, and distributing assets according to your will. Choose someone trustworthy, organised, and capable of handling legal and financial matters.
