Wills
A will is essential ...
A Will is a legal document that clearly states how you would like your assets – such as property, cash, shares or jewellery – distributed when you die and who should have guardianship of your children.
Your Will also appoints your executor – the person or entity you have entrusted with administering your estate and distributing your assets.
... But it's not everything
A Will is an essential part of an estate plan but it does not cover all areas of your estate. A Will only deals with personally owned assets while an estate plan can include a number of documents (such as Powers of Attorney, instructions on superannuation assets, and advanced health care directives) takes into account your total wealth, including your superannuation, interests in family trusts and business interests.
