Drafting Your Will with Confidence
Making a Will is a crucial step to ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes and your loved ones are provided for. A professionally drafted Will provides clear, legally binding instructions, appointing an executor to manage your estate and outlining your intentions for your family.
While DIY kits exist, they often fail to address complex situations, leading to ambiguity and potential disputes. At PBL Law Group, our experienced lawyers help you navigate NSW succession laws, consider all scenarios, and create a robust legal document. This ensures your Will is valid, clear, and minimises the risk of future challenges.
Providing Clarity & Protecting Your Loved Ones
Dying without a valid Will (intestate) means your estate is distributed according to a predetermined legal formula, not your personal wishes. This can lead to unintended consequences, leaving loved ones without the provision you intended and potentially causing costly disputes and delays for your family.
A professionally drafted Will provides absolute clarity, ensures your chosen beneficiaries are provided for, and legally appoints the people you trust to manage your affairs. By seeking expert legal advice from PBL Law Group, you secure peace of mind, knowing your legacy is protected and the burden on your family is minimised.

Writing a Will in NSW FAQs
What is a Will?
A Will is a legally binding document that outlines your final wishes, detailing how your assets (your ‘estate’) are to be distributed after your death. It also appoints an Executor to carry out your instructions.
What happens if I die without a Will?
If you die without a Will (intestate), the law dictates how your assets are divided according to a set formula. This may not align with your wishes and can cause significant stress and delays for your loved ones.
Can I make my own Will with a DIY kit?
While possible, DIY Wills often fail to comply with legal requirements or address complex situations, which can make them invalid or easy to challenge. Professional legal advice ensures your Will is robust and unambiguous.
Who should I appoint as my Executor?
Your Executor is responsible for administering your estate. You should appoint someone you trust implicitly who is organised and capable of the task, often a spouse, adult child, or a professional like your solicitor.
How do I provide for my young children in a Will?
In your Will, you can appoint a Guardian to care for any children under 18. You can also establish structures like a Testamentary Trust to manage their inheritance until they reach a certain age.
What assets are not automatically covered by my Will?
Assets held in joint names and your superannuation are not automatically part of your estate. Specific legal steps, like a Binding Death Benefit Nomination for your super, are needed to direct these assets.
How is a Will made legally valid?
For a Will to be valid in NSW, it must be in writing, signed by you, and witnessed by two adults who are present at the same time and also sign the document. Beneficiaries should not be witnesses.
When should I update my Will?
You should review and update your Will after any major life event, such as a marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, a significant change in your assets, or the death of a beneficiary or Executor.
How much does it cost to make a Will?
The cost depends on the complexity of your circumstances. At PBL Law Group, we provide a clear fee estimate upfront. Investing in professional drafting now can save your estate significant costs and disputes later.
