Frequently Asked Questions

Planning your Will or handling Estate assets for someone you care about can feel overwhelming at times. You might wonder what makes a Will valid, how to choose an executor, or what happens if someone dies without a Will. We understand these decisions can be difficult, and we’re here to provide guidance and support.

Wills and Estates law can be complex, but getting clear advice early can make the process easier and help you avoid disputes or probate delays. It’s often hard to know where to begin, what decisions need to be made, or how the law applies to your situation.

This section covers some of the most common concerns to help you feel more confident and informed. If you need personalised advice, we’re here to help with a free, no-obligation chat.

  • A valid Will helps make sure your wishes are followed after you pass away. It lets you decide who will receive your assets, who will manage your estate as executor, and who will care for any minor children. A properly prepared Will can also reduce the risk of disputes or delays during estate administration, giving your loved ones clarity and support during a difficult time.

  • Our Wills and estate lawyers can assist with drafting new Wills, reviewing and updating existing ones, and making sure your Will meets all legal requirements in Queensland. We also help you include specific gifts or conditions, appoint executors and guardians, and address more complex situations like blended families. Our aim is to ensure your wishes are clear, legally valid and tailored to your personal circumstances.

  • An estates lawyer can guide executors and family members through the legal process of managing a deceased estate. This includes applying for Probate (if required), identifying and valuing assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing the estate according to the Will. We help ensure all legal requirements are met, reduce stress during a difficult time, and support you in resolving any issues that may arise.

  • Estate planning goes beyond just your Will. You may need an enduring power of attorney to appoint someone to make financial or legal decisions, or an advance health directive to guide medical care if you lose capacity. It’s also important to review your superannuation beneficiaries, consider testamentary trusts for complex family or financial needs, and plan for business succession if relevant.

     

    If you own a business, succession law should be considered, and advice from business lawyers with commercial law experience may be required. Our experienced team offers comprehensive advice to help you meet your legal obligations with clarity and to ensure that any specialised areas of your estate planning are comprehensively covered.

  • Probate is a legal process where the Supreme Court confirms the last Will of a deceased person as valid. It’s often needed to access bank accounts, transfer property, or deal with superannuation and other assets. Our dedicated team can guide you through the paperwork and legal documents, helping reduce what can feel like an overwhelming task.

  • If a person dies without a valid Will, they are considered to have died intestate. We can help apply for Letters of Administration through the Supreme Court, which allows someone to manage the Estate when no Will exists. Our friendly team has extensive experience helping families handle these situations with care and clarity.

  • This depends on the complexity of the estate, the type of assets involved and if there are any related family law issues (such as pending property settlement), business matters or if estate litigation arises. Many estates are finalised within 6 to 12 months, but the timeline can extend significantly in some circumstances. Our Gold Coast team aims to resolve matters efficiently, offering dispute resolution support if needed and ensuring all legal obligations are met.

It’s important to plan ahead to protect your wishes - and your assets.

Having a valid Will means your wishes are clearly recorded, giving you control over who manages your Estate and how your assets are distributed. It helps protect your loved ones from stress, delays and disputes during an already difficult time. A well-prepared Will can also ensure guardianship of young children is clear and legally recognised, offering greater peace of mind for the future.

Without a Will, your Estate may not be distributed the way you intend - and your loved ones could face unnecessary complications.
