If it’s just a straightforward will where you leave everything to your partner and then your children, then I believe the will kits you can buy will suffice. If it’s more complicated, it’s best to see a solicitor.

I would go and see a lawyer. I just think it’s too important and it needs to be done by a professional.

Your local Post Office has do your own wills. I got mine free when I signed up for life insurance. I think they cost about $20-$30

My partner and I need to get our wills done too. I’m planning on just googling ‘Australian will template’ and drafting up something and then going to a solicitor for the formalities. It’ll be an expense that we have to save for but I’m not a legal professional and I want to make sure that the will is correct and doesn’t cause unnecessary headaches/ costs for my beneficiaries when I’m gone. Better to be safe than sorry.

I believe Newsagents and similar places sell will kits; maybe check your local.

NO, pay a few dollars and go to a solicitor, there are to many pitfalls if you get it wrong, get quoted from several solicitors, many do 1st visit free, once done it does not cost much to update every few years.

Ive been meaning to do this with my husband. Thank you to those mentioning about finding will kit at post office. Those will kit tht are found at post office are the same you do at the solicitor?

You can pick up a “Do It Yourself will kit” from your local post office

yeah i haven’t even thought of this

You can buy will kits from newsagents – but I’d really suggest this is worth paying a lawyer.

you can get a pack from the post office which would be a good starting point

be careful writing your own will if you have assets and a large familh

go to the Post office and get a pack from there

You can buy diy will kits.. They are quite easy to follow.

Yes you can get the kits to do it yourself from the post office.

My suggestion is pay the money and get a solicitor to write it up correctly, after losing my dad who had a simple will and all the family greadiness from my sister I advise having everything done and written exactly how you want it. It makes it easier for those left behind.

Start with looking on google for ideas. You need to discuss what to do with the children before they are 18 and what to do with the money before and after they are all over 18. You also need to think about powers of attorney if something happens to one of you and you are in a coma. Legally there will be things that you cannot do without it. Once you have thought about what you want book in to see a good solicitor. Lots do the first hour free. Talk the about how you want it to work and they can do the wording to achieve the outcome that you are looking for.

Most wills unless written by a solicitor (including those you get from the post office) aren’t legally binding. If someone was to contest your estate your will wouldn’t be worth the paper you printed it on. It’s well worth the $100 it costs to get a proper will written out especially if you have estranged, step or more than 1 child.

maybe try google, should find in there

Go to a solicitor saves grief in the long run
