Estate planning isn’t just for the wealthy or elderly – it’s something everyone should consider. Without a clear plan, you leave your loved ones to deal with unnecessary legal battles, financial stress, and uncertainty during an already difficult time.
Did you know, nearly 60% of Australians don’t have a Will or Estate Plan?
Whether you’re young or old, single or married, taking the time to organise your affairs ensures that your wishes are respected and your loved ones are protected.
- A Will – Ensures your assets are distributed according to your wishes and can prevent family disputes.
- Power of Attorney – Appoints someone you trust to manage your financial and legal affairs if you’re unable to.
- Advance Care Directive – Outlines your medical care preferences if you’re unable to make those decisions yourself.
Estate planning is not a one-time task, it should be reviewed regularly and after significant life events. As your financial situation changes, it’s important to ensure your plans reflect those updates.
