Frequently Asked Questions

What does a wills and estates lawyer help with?

A wills and estates lawyer assists with estate planning, preparing wills, probate applications, succession planning, estate administration, and resolving estate disputes.

Working with estate planning lawyers can help ensure your estate planning documents reflect your wishes and comply with legal requirements.

Why should I have an estate plan?

An estate plan helps determine how your estate assets will be managed and distributed if you pass away or become unable to manage your affairs. Proper estate planning may help minimise disputes, protect beneficiaries, and provide clarity regarding important decisions.

Estate planning services often include wills, testamentary trusts, Powers of Attorney, and Advance Health Directives.

What happens if someone dies without a will?

If someone dies without a valid will, their estate is distributed according to Queensland intestacy laws. This may result in delays, uncertainty, and disputes regarding estate administration.

The court may appoint an administrator to manage the deceased estate and distribute assets according to succession law requirements.

What is probate?

Probate is the legal process confirming the validity of a will and authorising an executor to administer a deceased estate.

Probate may be required where an estate includes significant assets such as property, investments, or bank accounts. Estate lawyers can assist with probate applications and related legal processes.

Can a will be contested in Queensland?

Yes. Certain eligible individuals may challenge a will if concerns exist regarding validity or adequate provision.

Common disputes include:

  • Family provision claims
  • Contested wills
  • Executor disputes
  • Allegations involving undue influence
  • Disputes regarding estate assets

Seeking legal advice early may help clarify rights and available options.

What is a testamentary trust?

A testamentary trust is created through a will and becomes effective after death. Testamentary trusts may provide additional flexibility regarding asset distribution and asset protection benefits.

They are sometimes considered for blended families, business owners, or beneficiaries requiring additional protection.

How often should I review my will?

  • Marriage or separation
  • Divorce
