Last Will and Testament
Your last will and testament (will) is a legal document providing instructions about who you wish to inherit your assets, who is to be the guardian of your children and who is to be appointed the executor of your estate in the evening of your passing. A valid will ensures any assets and property are distributed according to your wishes and reduces the risk and exposure to unexpected contests.

Power of Attorney
A Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows you to nominate a person or trustee organisation (non-personal entity) to manage your assets and personal financial affairs. There are two types; A General Power of Attorney and an Enduring Power of Attorney.
A General Power of Attorney remains active only while you possess the mental capacity to make your own decisions. Whereas an Enduring Power of Attorney remains active even if you lose the ability to make decisions for yourself. This is common when an individual’s mental capacity is expected to change due to illness or similar.

What happens without a will
Should you pass away without a will you are considered ‘intestate‘.
This means your assets are distributed amongst your surviving relatives in accordance with the Succession Act 2006. The distribution depends on many factors including your marital status, whether you were a parent and your other living relatives.
Ultimately the Court and state laws decide who will receive priority over your assets along with guardianship of children and pets.
Having a will allows you to protect your estate against this situation. You will be able to guarantee your most valued possessions are handed down according to your wishes and instructions.
Will essentials
Anyone can write their own last will and testament.
- Age – written by individuals aged 18 years or over
- Executor and beneficiaries – state the executor and beneficiaries. The executor of the will manage your estate and will handle any debts, distribute assets and ensure your instructions are followed, e.g. funeral arrangements. The beneficiaries will be recipients of any assets.
