A Will is a legal document which allows you (amongst other things) to choose who receives your belongings and assets after you die. It is also used to appoint a guardian to look after your children until they attain legal age to look after themselves.
Having a valid and up to date Will customised to suit your own specific needs will on your death ensure that your assets are distributed in accordance with your wishes. D’Angelo Legal can safeguard your interests by;
- ensuring that there is compliance with all the legal requirements of making a Will;
- ensuring that beneficiaries are adequately provided for (subject to your instructions);
- ensuring that your wishes are clearly expressed in your Will and that your Will suits your particular situation and circumstances;
- advising on whether your current or old Will should be changed to reflect new circumstances;
- advising in which circumstances your Will might be contested and how to best prepare your will in the likely event of such circumstances;
- advising on how to deal with your business or businesses, including associated family trusts, partnerships and company (or companies) that you have shareholdings in; and
- whilst all of our basic wills have a simple testamentary trust we can advise you on whether or not your financial circumstances require a more detailed testamentary trust and the costs involved for the same. This advice is provided to you at our initial meeting at no additional charge and with no obligation to proceed on our recommended advice. We can discuss with you the benefits or having a more detailed testamentary trust, for example, providing for future generations via a trust.
Choosing D’Angelo Legal to prepare your Will, can give you peace of mind knowing that your loved ones will be provided for when you are gone and that you have left valid legal directions on how your estate is to be divided.
