Common Misconceptions about Wills

Many Australians delay writing a will because they believe it’s too early or too complicated. Let’s address a few common myths.

“I’m too young to need a will

If you’re over 18 and have assets, children, or even specific personal items you care about, you need a will. Accidents and unexpected events can happen at any age- having your wishes in writing gives everyone peace of mind.

“My family knows what I want”

Good intentions aren’t legally binding. Even when family members agree on what you would have wanted, disputes can still arise. A properly drafted will removes uncertainty and ensures your instructions are clear.

“It’s too expensive or time-consuming”

With the right legal guidance, writing a will can be a straightforward process. Many firms offer affordable, fixed-fee services that ensure your will complies with Australian law and covers all necessary details.
