Writing your will is a daunting time for everybody. Australia has very strict laws in relation to the technical requirements of executing a will and it is very important that you have this document prepared and considered by an experienced solicitor to ensure that your property is distributed in the way that you wish. If you do not have a properly prepared and executed will then your assets may not be transferable in the manner that you wish, in some cases these assets may be forfeited to the state or (more likely) your estate will attract thousands of dollars worth of fees through the public trustee.
