If your last will and testament was free, YOU were the product! A free will often comes at the cost of your legacy.
Over 85% of people haven’t realised this, leaving their grieving loved ones to deal with the indifference of institutional bureaucracy and call centres long after death. Let our experts draft and administer your will instead. Too late, and you’ve spent 5 years stuck in the queue already? We will litigate, mediate, negotiate or arbitrate for you.
Drafting a will might not be as simple as it seems. Executor Law has the legal know-how to help you avoid mistakes, reduce taxes, and maximise your family’s financial benefits. We advise you on selecting guardian’s and trustees.
Your final words
Who will you trust with the financial well-being of your loved ones, when you’re gone? A call center run by a large finance house? You can depend on us for service that will not only meet, but exceed, your expectations. We will make sure you have all of the information you need to make the right decisions for your unique situation, but we’ll also make the experience as comfortable as possible, for you. In fact, if necessary, we will come to you in cases where loved ones are physically or emotionally not able to visit our offices.
To will, or not to will…
There are many things to consider when drafting a will. You need to consider your loved ones, as well as any special needs they may have. If you pass away without a will, it could lead to severe administrative, tax, financial and legal problems.
Every person 16 and older, who owns an asset and is mentally able to understand the results of his/her actions, should have a will.
You can draft your own will however this could be dangerous in the sense that you may not include important clauses in your will. If this is not done properly you might also be at risk of the will not being accepted by the Master, or incurring excessive tax, which will mean that you die without a will or your estate will be taxed heavily for an uninformed will.
Testate means you had a valid will. Intestate means you died without leaving a valid will or did not have a will.
You can nominate any person however the law states that even if you nominate a person it may be that they will still need the assistance of an Attorney, Auditor or trust company to assist with the formalities.
