Why do I need a Will and how do I make a valid Will?

Wills are a really important document. They're going to ensure that the assets that you've built up over your lifetime are going to be passed through to who you want to receive them in the event of your death. So do you need a will? Absolutely!

Everyone should have a will. If you pass away without a valid will being in place it's called dying intestate. That means that the state or territory government will gather up your assets and will then distribute those according to a set formula. This is quite often a very different outcome to what you would want to happen in the event of your death. So how do you protect against that? You make a will.
