Making a Will

Fixed fee wills from $360 (Incl. GST)

Perth-based professional & affordable legal assistance with wills

When someone passes away, they leave behind their assets such as a house, land, bank accounts and investments. A will is a record of that individual’s intention to distribute their assets and belongings upon their death. A will needs to follow all legal protocol in order for it to be binding and effective. However, before the assets can be collected and distributed, the will must have been granted probate. We are specialists in the process of drawing up wills and getting the necessary probate. If you need help in making up your will, contact Perth’s legal specialists, Brook Legal | The Will and Probate Centre.

Why should I make a will?

A will is the best legal method to ensure that your estate passes to your loved ones. For families, taking care of your wife/husband and your children is often your top priority. You may have a child that has a greater need for financial support than your other children. Having a will in place ensures that you are able to provide financial support to your loved ones even after you have gone and that each person receives the amount that you designate.

If you are not married, or are in a civil partnership, and you want some or all of your estate and assets to pass to your partner, kids, relatives or friends on your death, making a will can help you achieve this.

Appointing an Executor

The executor of your will is responsible for carrying out the instructions of the will after your death. Your executor should be someone you can trust to carry out your specific instructions. At Will and Probate Centre, we will assist you to set up the entire process, explain the cost of making a will, and lay out any other complications that may arrive.

Naming Legal Guardians

If you have children or grandchildren that are minors and currently under your care, a will can state who the guardian of those children will be after your death.

What are the dangers of dying without a will?

If you do not have a will in place, the State decides how your assets are distributed and the fate of the children involved. These cases can blow up quickly and turn into long, expensive legal battles. Creating a will simplifies the process and you get to determine what is best for those you leave behind.
