FAQ
Clear answers for complex questions. We break down legal language into practical, straightforward guidance so you can make informed decisions with confidence. No jargon. No ambiguity. Just clarity when it matters most.
We believe in transparency and direct communication, so we’ve compiled answers to the most common inquiries regarding our embedded advisory model, fee structures, and specialised practice areas.
How often should I update my will?
We recommend reviewing your will every 3–5 years, and after any significant life event -marriage, separation, birth of a child, or changes in financial circumstances.
What is a testamentary trust and should I have one?
A testamentary trust is established by your will and comes into effect after death. It can provide tax advantages, asset protection, and greater control over distributions -particularly useful for families with minor children or significant assets.
What happens if someone dies without a will in Victoria?
The estate is distributed according to a statutory formula under the Administration and Probate Act 1958 -which may not align with the deceased’s wishes and can create delays and family disputes.
What is the role of an executor?
An executor administers your estate after death -obtaining probate, identifying assets, paying debts, managing tax obligations, and distributing the estate to beneficiaries.
Can someone challenge my will after I die?
Yes. Eligible persons can make a family provision claim if the will does not adequately provide for them. We draft wills with these risks in mind and advise on strategies to minimise successful challenges.
