We’ve created a clear and easy-to-follow flowchart to explain what happens if you pass away without a Will in Victoria.

Making a will.

You have worked very hard during your lifetime to provide for your family and loved ones. A valid will ensures your loved ones are provided for. You can have peace of mind with a legally valid will.

Power of attorney.

If you are unable to make decisions who will act for you? A power of attorney is a written legal document which allows another person to act and make decisions on your behalf – and is an important investment in your life and wellbeing.

Probate.

The death of a loved one can be a difficult and emotional time. Our experience allows us to deal with property, shares, bank and insurance and take the burden off your shoulders.

Contest a will.

If you feel you have been unfairly left out of a will, we can help you contest it. Contesting a will can be a complicated and difficult process, and strict timelines apply. Our wills disputes team will advise you on your likelihood of successfully making a claim.

Estate & succession planning.

Estate planning is about proactively protecting your loved ones when you die. It goes beyond the will – it may look at how your business will operate or how your wealth will be distributed in the safest and most tax-effective manner.
