Wills and estate planning usually go together when preparing a will. When the inevitable happens it is wise to have provisions, or a strategy, for tax planning, health care decisions, trusts, bequests and other factors defined in your will. A professional will, ensures your final wishes are followed and assets are distributed to your heirs in the most efficient manner possible. Here, you will find more information on estate planning and wills.

The law will dictate the important decisions for you and your heirs if you pass away without a will, or interstate. You will not make the final decision on how and where your assets will be distributed and who will look after minor children, or guardianship. Inconvenience, higher costs and increased time in administering your estate can be avoided with proper planning and a will.
Wills
Everyone’s situation is different and so are the tax implications. At HS Law we know the tax pitfalls and the ins and outs when preparing your estate. We can also advise you if there are any recent changes to legislation that may provide you with tax and probate relief. For some people there are numerous tax and legal factors that should be considered when drafting wills.
However, there are some basic points (if applicable) that should be covered in wills:
- Who will be administering your Estate (Executor-Trustee)
- How your estate should be handled
- Who are the beneficiaries
- Trust provisions to care for minor children
- Guardianship provisions for minor children
- Funeral or Burial Arrangements
It should be noted that wills may be needed to be revised over time, as situations and relationships change. If you have a will that needs to be revised, an HS lawyer can advise and make the necessary changes. If you are an Executor or Executrix we can guide you to ensure that the estate is properly probated and distributed to the intended beneficiaries.
Wills combined with Estate Planning
If your estate has significant assets that will need to be addressed, it is prudent to do your estate planning. Personal and financial objectives should be considered along with how best to achieve those goals. If minor children are involved, there are trust issues for children that should be addressed in wills. There are numerous estate logistics that affect wills.
An HS estate lawyer can craft a will that reflects your wishes, intentions and goals.
