Why is a Will important?

The importance of a last will cannot be overstated. What is to happen to your assets after you die? Nearly half of Australian adults don’t have a will. This means that the jurisdiction of your state or territory may have the ultimate say on who is to receive your assets. It pays to consider some key questions when planning your will.

Melbourne Lawyers & Mediators Principal Barrister & Solicitor, Meryem Apak, gives insight in this Turkish podcast about how to draft a will, the necessary requirements for a valid will and what you can leave in a will.

For more information and the opportunity to ask questions, please join us at our Wills & Power of Attorney Workshop on 13 December 2018 at 6:30PM at 138 Commerical Road Prahran VIC 3181. To rsvp, please contact our office on 1800 99 31 32 or email your interest at info@melblawyers.com.au.
