FAQs
Do I need a will?
Having a will ensures that your assets are distributed according to your wishes after your death. Since a will provides clarity and guidance for the management of your estate, having your will and estate plan prepared by an experienced solicitor can identify the potential risks of a dispute arising, and, if so, suggest a strategy to eliminate or minimise that risk.
What happens if I die without a will?
If you die without a will, your assets will be distributed according to the laws of intestacy. This might not align with your personal wishes and can lead to complications for your loved ones or your preferred beneficiaries.
Can I write my own will?
While it is legally permissible to write your own will, it’s advisable to seek professional advice from Brisbane wills and estate lawyers such as those at ORG. This ensures that the will is valid and effectively prevents or minimises potential legal challenges after your death.
How do I make a claim against an estate?
To make a claim against an estate, you typically need to prove your eligibility under family provision laws and file a claim within a specific timeframe. It’s recommended that this is done under the guidance of Brisbane estate lawyers in order to provide you with proper legal advice.
What assets should be included in my will?
Assets owned in your own name are dealt with in a will. Typically these include significant assets like real estate, bank accounts, investments, personal possessions, and other such important or delicate assets that need clear instructions on how to be handled to ensure your wishes are carried out.
How can I protect my will from being challenged?
To protect your will from being challenged, it’s important to ensure that it’s properly drafted, witnessed, and written with clear, unambiguous instructions. Regular updates and professional guidance from professional Brisbane estate planning lawyers such as those at ORG can also strengthen the will against disputes.
What are estate dispute lawyers?
Estate lawyers assist parties during the administration of a deceased estate. Brisbane estate dispute lawyers, like those at ORG, are skilled in navigating complex familial and financial issues that can occur when wills or estates are contested.
Their role is to provide expert legal advice, represent clients in court, and work towards resolutions that respect the deceased’s wishes while ensuring fairness to all parties involved. Estate lawyers usually handle cases involving will challenges, disputes among beneficiaries, claims against estates, and other related legal matters in Brisbane estate litigation.
