What is Estate Planning?
Estate planning involves organising the distribution of your assets after you pass away, as well as setting out how your financial and medical decisions should be handled if you lose capacity before death.
What Happens If You Die Without a Will?
If you die without a valid Will in South Australia, the Succession Act 2023 applies, meaning your estate will be distributed according to the laws of intestacy, and not according to your wishes.
What is a Family Provision Claim?
In South Australia, if you believe you have been left out of a deceased person’s Will or have not received adequate provision for your maintenance, education, or advancement in life, you may have the right to make a family provision claim against the estate.
