As experienced wills and estate lawyers, Proctor & Associates understands the importance of not only having a will, but one that is valid and complies with the formalities to be met under existing legislation.
We can assist you with planning your estate by preparing, refreshing or amending your will, advising you of your rights and legal entitlements and in particular, the distribution of your estate smoothly with minimal interference through any challenge to your will.
You may also want to plan for the future as you get older by way of granting an “enduring power of attorney” and an “enduring guardianship” which will ensure that if you get to a point that you can’t manage your own affairs, your appointee can step into your shoes and look after your financial interests and general care.

Simple wills
A will is a testamentary disposition, which sets out your wishes in respect of the disposing of your estate. You must be of the age of 18 years or more and your estate comprises only that property to which you are entitled.
A will must be made in writing and signed in the presence of two or more witnesses. At least two of those witnesses, must attest and sign the will in the presence of the person making the will (testator). The witness should not be a beneficiary under the will.
