A Will isn't just about assets—it's about control. Without a Will, the government decides who gets what, who looks after your children, and who manages your estate. A properly drafted Will ensures your wishes are followed, appoints guardians for minor children, and can prevent family disputes. Even modest estates benefit from clear direction.
An Enduring Power of Attorney (EPOA) allows you to choose who will make financial and legal decisions for you if you lose capacity due to accident, illness, or dementia. Without an EPOA, your family may need to apply to QCAT for guardianship, which is costly, stressful, and time-consuming. It's one of the most important documents you can create.
Standard inheritance can affect your child's eligibility for NDIS and Centrelink benefits. We can structure your Will using testamentary trusts or Special Disability Trusts to protect their inheritance while maintaining access to essential government support. We also help you consider guardianship and ongoing care arrangements.
Cross-border estates involve complex tax implications, different succession laws, and potential double taxation. As a dual-qualified solicitor (Australia and Sweden), Annelie can structure your estate to minimize tax, ensure assets transfer smoothly, and protect family members in both countries. Proper planning prevents costly mistakes.
When someone dies "intestate" (without a Will), Queensland's intestacy laws determine who inherits—often not matching what the deceased would have wanted. The estate distribution follows a strict legal formula, excluding de facto partners in some cases, potentially leaving out stepchildren, and causing delays. A Will prevents this uncertainty.
