Frequently Asked Questions
You can write a will yourself, but mistakes can make it invalid or unclear. A lawyer ensures your will meets NSW legal rules and reflects your wishes properly.
Any major life change is a good trigger: marriage, separation, new children, buying property, starting a business, or changes to who you want to benefit.
If you pass away without a valid will, NSW law decides who receives your assets. This may not reflect what you would have wanted.
A General Power of Attorney is usually for short-term use and ends if you lose capacity. An Enduring Power of Attorney continues even if you lose capacity, making it the most common choice for long-term planning.
Yes, as long as you still have capacity. We can help you update or revoke an existing document correctly.
