A professionally drafted will reduces the risk of disputes and makes sure your wishes are carried out. Estate lawyers also advise on superannuation nominations, testamentary trusts and how assets held jointly or in trusts pass outside the will.
Without a valid will, state intestacy rules decide who inherits, which may not reflect your wishes, and your family faces more delay and cost.
Each state has its own succession legislation, such as the Succession Act 2006 in NSW and the Wills Act 1997 in Victoria. Superannuation doesn't automatically form part of your estate; it's paid according to fund rules and binding nominations.
Understand the next step
Decide whether you are making a will, reviewing an old one or seeking advice after a death. The lawyer needs to know who owns the assets and who is intended to benefit before recommending documents.
Ask separately about superannuation, trusts and powers of attorney instead of assuming a simple will covers every asset and decision.
Port Lincoln, Port Augusta, Whyalla, Port Pirie and Clare cover a broad directory area. For advice about a business, property or workplace, the location of the activity can matter as much as where you live.
For wills & estates, ask which parts of the work the firm handles itself and whether it has relevant SA experience. Let the lawyer know if a property, employer, other party or existing proceeding is outside Eyre, Yorke & Mid North. Your home address alone does not determine the applicable process.
List family members, property, debts, companies, trusts and superannuation. Identify where original documents are held and which assets are jointly owned.
Ask what each document or application would achieve. Confirm which state rules and asset-ownership arrangements need to be considered.
Agree on signing, storage and future reviews, or on the executor’s responsibilities for records and distributions. Identify changes that should prompt further advice.
Compare a simple-will quote with more involved planning or estate administration. Ask about searches, applications, valuations and coordination with an accountant.
Ask for a written scope identifying the work you are authorising, the person responsible and when costs will be reviewed. If you only want advice on one step, say so before the firm begins wider work.
Provide the date of death and any estate correspondence promptly. Ask about relevant deadlines before distributing assets, signing a release or assuming a dispute can wait.
In South Australia, the Magistrates Court hears most criminal and minor civil matters, with the District and Supreme Courts above it. Tenancy, guardianship and many administrative reviews go to SACAT. Practising certificates are issued by the Law Society of South Australia, and conduct complaints go to the Legal Profession Conduct Commissioner.
Good to know
It can be, if properly signed and witnessed, but errors in wording or execution are common and can lead to disputes.
Not automatically. Super is paid according to the fund's rules and any binding nomination you've made.
Most matters start in the Magistrates Court. More serious cases go to the District Court or the Supreme Court of South Australia. Family law matters are heard by the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia.
