Wills and Estate Planning
August 2, 2022 by Alpass & Associates
Alpass & Associates employ experienced Will & Estate lawyers who can provide certainty and peace of mind in relation to your estate planning needs. Many people neglect planning for death and a considerable percentage of Australians die each year without a Will or proper estate planning arrangements. Some also die with Wills that do not reflect their current needs, such as making adequate provision for partners and children in circumstances where there is a moral responsibility. This is, sadly, quite common in second relationships.
When undertaking your estate planning, there are many legal hurdles that need consideration. For example, if you are in a second relationship, you may have a responsibility to provide housing/or a “nest egg” for your partner. The primary residence you own may not be held appropriately to achieve this. It may be necessary to consider giving your partner a life interest in your residence and consider how your children from your first relationship ultimately benefit.
The lawyers at Alpass & Associates can assist in such circumstances. It is important that you structure your Will appropriately, appoint appropriate executors, plan how your estate should be distributed and meet your moral obligations so there is minimal risk of a Will challenge that will cause wastage and upset. Often Will and Estate planning is left until it is too late. Attend to these matters whilst you can. It is important for you and for your family members to have peace of mind.
