Latest News
Wills and what you can do if you need to contest
A Will documents your personal wishes and provides clear instructions to your executor about how to distribute your personal assets of your estate to your beneficiaries when you pass away.
Challenging a deceased estate – have you missed out?
The Administration and Probate Act 1958 (Vic) (the ‘Act’) allows the Court to make orders to provide for a claimant from the estate of a deceased person. This means that the Court may change a deceased person’s Will or administration on intestacy to award a person funds or assets from the estate.
Dying intestate – the perils of not making a Will
A valid Will determines how your estate is dealt with after you die. Your Will can appoint an appropriate family member or trusted friend to administer your estate (your executor), nominate guardians for young children, determine who will receive your assets and give direction for specific funeral and burial arrangements.
