Should I Make a Will?

Everyone over the age of 18 should have a current legal Will.
However if you are single and without much in the way of property or possessions, the need for a Will may not be so great.

If you have a partner, or if you have children, it is vital to have a current Will regardless of your age or your state of health.

Just as important, if you're not married but living in a de facto relationship, the absence of a Will can cause devastation and heartbreak for the surviving partner. Regardless of the time you have been living together, your de facto relationship may not receive any legal recognition. This means your surviving partner may need to resort to lengthy and expensive legal proceedings in order to prove their entitlements.

Similarly, if you are single and have property and possessions that you would like to leave to family or friends, a Will is the safest and simplest way to ensure your wishes are carried out.

Although it is easy to think of a Will as being something that can be left until much later in life, the simple fact is that life is full of uncertainty. None of us know what tomorrow will bring. That's why making a Will is both a responsibility and an act of love, and every adult - regardless of age or wealth - should have a current legal Will.
