FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is estate planning, and why is it important?

Estate planning is the process of arranging your assets and affairs to ensure your wishes are carried out after your passing. It helps protect your loved ones, minimise disputes, and provide peace of mind that your estate will be handled according to your intentions.

Do I need a Will if I have a small estate?

Yes. Regardless of the size of your estate, a Will ensures your assets are distributed as you wish and can prevent potential disputes among family members. It also allows you to appoint guardians for your children if needed.

What are family provision claims, and how can I plan for them?

Family provision claims allow certain family members to seek a portion of your estate if they feel they have not been adequately provided for. Careful estate planning, including clear Wills and legal advice, can minimise the risk of such disputes.

How often should I update my estate plan?

Your estate plan should be reviewed regularly, especially after major life events such as marriage, divorce, the birth of children, or acquiring new assets. Regular updates ensure your plan reflects your current wishes and family circumstances.
