• What Needs to be Included in My Will?

A Will is a formal document designed to outline
your preferences for the distribution of your
assets and estate upon your demise. It serves as
a clear directive from you to your family,
friends, and associates, detailing your specific
instructions regarding the disposal of your
property after your passing. This crucial step in
estate planning aims to minimise the likelihood
of complications or uncertainties arising
concerning any aspect of your estate.
14
Information That Must be Included in The Will

• When creating a will, our team of will and
  estates will inquire about various aspects to
  accurately capture your instructions regarding
  your assets. The questions may vary based on
  individual circumstances, but generally include
• Your full name, including any other names you are
  known by
• Your current residential address
• Full names and details of appointed Executors
  responsible for executing your wishes
• Details of your assets, including real property,
  bank accounts, motor vehicles, shares, and other
  items intended for specific individuals
• Full names and details of beneficiaries, those
  you want to inherit your estate.

Other Necessary Information

• When crafting your will, consider the following
  details and instructions
• Arrangements for Minor Children Clearly outline
  arrangements for the care and guardianship of
  minor children.
• Funeral Arrangements Specify your preferences
  for funeral arrangements after your passing.
• Executor Powers Provide specific instructions
  related to the powers granted to your executors
  for interim estate management.
• It is crucial to contemplate your intentions and
  instructions thoroughly when creating a will. Our
  team is ready to assist you by answering
  questions and clarifying any points, ensuring
  your will encapsulates your instructions and
  meets all formal legal requirements within the
