People,

Does anyone here know if the Australian Will kits you get from places like the Post Office are legit, binding documents, in all states and territories? (Im assuming yes).

Moreso, how do they work if you already have a will, but want to update, dissolve the previous one.... etc.

Lastly, I have a friend that doesnt really have any family, (be it blood or by marriage), and was questioning if you elect to leave assets/possessions to 'the state' - can the family overturn this if you were to pass?

Any legal beagles here? Preferably ones that have drawn up own documents, or have used aforementioned kit.

Brent.

Best of paying the money and getting one set up properly, the ones available from the Post Office are legal but if your friend has specific criterion that he wants met and becomes incapacitated he will need to ensure he has Enduring Powers of Attorney, Binding Death Nominations in place etc etc.

There are quite a lot of matters that need to be considered.

Please note I am not a lawyer and this is not in any way deemed to be legal advice!

+1 better to get a proper one by a lawyer - one word incorrect and you can have issues (have seen it).

Each State has different laws - eg. binding financial agreements (pre nups in US) are not enforceable in WA but are in several states over east.

+3 go see a lawyer.

Very minimal cost given that you are dealing with everything you own.
