Frequently Asked Questions About Wills and Estate Lawyers in Sydney

  • A qualified wills and estate lawyer ensures your will is legally valid, properly reflects your wishes, and minimises the risk of disputes after you pass. DIY wills and online templates can contain errors or ambiguities that lead to costly legal challenges. Professional estate planning also helps you take advantage of strategies like testamentary trusts to protect your assets and reduce taxes for your beneficiaries.

  • The cost of having a will prepared varies depending on the complexity of your estate and your individual circumstances. We provide transparent, fixed-fee quotes during your free initial consultation, covering will drafting, powers of attorney, and other estate planning documents. Our fees are competitive and clearly explained with no hidden costs.

  • We recommend reviewing your will every 3-5 years or whenever you experience a significant life event, such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, acquiring or selling major assets, or a change in your family circumstances. Our wills and estate lawyers can review your existing will and advise on whether updates are needed to ensure it still reflects your wishes.

  • If someone passes away without a valid will in NSW, their estate is distributed according to the intestacy rules set out in the Succession Act 2006. This means the law - not the deceased - decides who inherits, which may not reflect their actual wishes. It can also lead to delays, added costs, and potential disputes among family members. Having a professionally prepared will avoids these issues.

  • Probate is the legal process of validating a deceased person's will and authorising the executor to administer the estate. In NSW, the executor applies to the Supreme Court for a Grant of Probate, which gives them legal authority to collect assets, pay debts, and distribute the estate according to the will. Our estate lawyers handle the entire probate process efficiently and keep you informed at every stage.

  • Yes, certain eligible persons can make a family provision claim under the Succession Act 2006 if they believe they have not been adequately provided for in a will. Eligible claimants typically include spouses, children, and dependents. These claims are time-sensitive, so it's important to seek legal advice promptly. Our estate lawyers can advise you on your eligibility and the strength of your claim.
