Do I Need a Lawyer
to Write a Will in Australia?
While you are not legally required to hire a lawyer to write a Will in Australia, engaging a Wills and Estates solicitor is highly recommended to ensure your document is legally valid and enforceable and financial planning to deal with trusts, family businesses and corporate structures. A lawyer helps you navigate state-specific succession laws, minimise the risk of family disputes, and ensure your assets are distributed exactly as you intend.
You should strongly consider hiring a lawyer to draft your Will if:
- You have complex financial assets, such as a business, self-managed super fund (SMSF) or family trust
- You want to set up a testamentary trust to protect vulnerable beneficiaries
- You need to appoint an enduring power of attorney, enduring guardian at the same time or advanced health care plan/directive
- You are part of a blended family or have dependents from previous relationships
- You wish to deliberately exclude a family member who may try to contest the Will
