Learn about wills
A will is a legal document that sets out your plans and preferences of who you want to receive your assets and how your estate is to be managed when you pass away.
A will is one of the most important legal documents you’ll make. It generally details:
- what you wish to happen to your estate after your death, including who your beneficiaries are and the distribution of assets
- the executor (or co-executors) who you entrust to carry out those wishes
- your nominated guardian and the terms of any trust set up for your children or other beneficiaries
- any specific funeral or memorial preferences..
