Whilst they might look like an easy and affordable option, most offer limited guidance on more complex issues, such as:
• blended families
• superannuation
• taxation in relation to your estate
• guardians and trustees
• powers of the executor
• witnessing requirements and signing under duress
It’s important to seek appropriate legal advice in relation to these issues if they apply to you. Any uncertainty interpreted in a Will may need to be determined by the court, resulting in longer delays and expenses.
