Preparing a Will

Preparing a Will


 

Hello, everyone

“Whatever can happen at any time can happen today.”
― Seneca, On the Shortness of Life

COVID-19 has emphasised the frailty of life, the importance of relationships and the need to provide for the family should the worst occur. As a result in the last couple of months, I have had twice as many requests for wills as I have had in the previous 12 months combined.

I consider a will to be one of the most important documents that you will ever sign as this gives you the comfort of knowing the rewards of your life’s work will be managed and distributed according to your wishes (your estate).

Without a will, your estate will be distributed according to the Succession Act. Among other provisions provides that where a person had married, separated and lived in a de facto relationship, the assets are to be divided between the wife and de facto, as agreed or as determined by the Court. Such situations often lead to legal action that could have been easily avoided along with the destruction of family relationships. In addition, if there are no eligible beneficiaries as set out in the Act, then the State is entitled to the whole of your estate.

A will is all about the preservation of your Estate and to enable you to pass it on to the people you consider nearest and dearest. When drafting a will, I always ensure that I know the family history and your wishes to minimise family disruption. I cannot emphasise the importance of having a will.

In this time of challenge, any business of any size needs to be on top of their financials. I have been working with Mai Ha over the years who continue to provide me with personalised financial services and has always gone that one step further in assisting me. She has kept me up to date with the government assistance initiatives and applied for the Jobkeeper payments on my behalf without my needing to ask. I recommend her if you need of accounting assistance that you contact her on 0416 087 588 or email [email protected].

The reality is that people need help. So pick up the phone and ring me if you have any questions or I can assist in ensuring your assets will be distributed according to your wishes.

Have a wonderful day,

Jeffrey

大家好

"在任何时候都可能发生什么,今天也可能发生。”
—— 塞内卡,关于生命的短暂

Covid 19强调了生活的脆弱、人际关系的重要性,以及在发生最坏情况时需要养家糊口。因此,在过去的几个月里,我收到立遗嘱的请求量是过去12个月中总和的两倍。

我认为遗嘱是你们签署的最重要文件之一,因为这给了你一个安慰,知道你一生的工作的回报(你的遗产)将按照你的愿望去被管理和分配。

没有遗嘱,您的遗产将根据《继承法》进行分配。按照一些条款规定,对于在已经结婚、分居和事实同居的关系中,资产应按法院商定或由法院确定的方式在妻子和实际同居者之间分配。这种情况往往导致法律诉讼,立遗嘱可以轻而易举地避免这种破坏家庭成员关系的情况发生。此外,如果没有合法的受益人,那么国家有权享有你的全部财产。

立遗嘱是保护你的财产,并使您能够传递给你想要及最亲近的人。在起草遗愿时,我总是确保我知道您家族史和您的愿望,以尽量减少家庭矛盾。我不用再强调立遗嘱的重要性了。

在这个挑战时期,任何规模的任何企业都需要在财政上有所提高。多年来,我一直与何梅(Mai Ha)合作,她一直为我提供个性化的金融服务,并始终在协助我在这方面更进一步。不用我咨询,她会及时让我了解政府援助计划的最新情况,并代表我申请保留工作人员(Jobkeeper)的付款。我推荐她,如果你需要会计协助,请您联系她0416 087 588或电子邮件[email protected]

实际上,任何人如果需要帮助,请拿起电话,联系我,您有任何问题或需求,我会协助并确保你的资产将根据您的意愿进行分配。

祝有美好的一天!
