“We always knew she'd be responsible with money,” said the parents, who have apparently forgotten the financial decisions they made between the ages of 18 and 25.

The daughter, who reportedly “had a big one” to celebrate her 18th birthday, has assured her parents she now plans to spend her money wisely.

“See?” she said, pointing proudly to her new phone. “I went the Pro, not the Pro Max.”

This publication has since uncovered that she has also ordered a $7,000 handbag.

Questions have been raised about her ability to responsibly manage the nest egg intended to fund her financial future.

The parents are now investigating testamentary trusts as part of their wider strategy.

More to come.

You know that thing you've been meaning to do for months? The Will.

You've thought about it.

You've talked about it.

You might even have said, “We really need to get this sorted.”

And then life happened.

There is always something else that feels more urgent.

Your Will doesn't need to be the thing you keep putting off until life gets quieter.

You don't need to know exactly what you want before you start. That's part of what an estate planning lawyer helps you work through.

If you've been meaning to sort your Will, take this as your sign.

If you weren't here tomorrow, who would know all the little things that make your kids' world work?

Who picks them up?
What is their usual routine?
Who knows what comforts them when they're upset?
Who knows what you wanted for them?
Who would make decisions for them?
And what would happen to the money and assets you leave behind?

As parents, we spend years organising life around our kids.

We know their shoe sizes, their favourite foods, their school passwords, their routines, their friends, their fears, and the tiny things that make them feel safe.

Estate planning is part of that same care.

It gives you the opportunity to put the important things in place for a future you hope you'll never have to face 💜

If you've built a life, a family, a home, or a business, your Will is only one piece of the puzzle.

Your estate plan needs to reflect your family, your assets, your responsibilities, and what matters most to you. That means thinking beyond your Will.

💜 Who would make financial decisions for you if you couldn't?

💜 Who would make decisions about your health and personal care?

💜 What happens to your superannuation when you die?

💜 Who would raise your children, and how would they access their inheritance as they grow up?

💜 Would an inheritance be protected if your child went through a divorce, bankruptcy, or struggled to manage money?

💜 Do your business interests, companies, trusts, or other assets need special consideration?

These decisions are connected. The arrangements you put in place for one part of your life can have a real impact on another.

A complete estate plan brings those moving parts together, so the people you love have clear direction, the right legal arrangements are in place, and what you've worked hard to build has the best chance of being protected.

You've spent years building your life.
It's worth taking the time to plan for what happens to it.

If your estate plan has been sitting on your to-do list because you don't know where to start, start here.

You don't need to have every decision made before you speak to an estate planning lawyer.

Start with these six questions:

💜 Who would care for my kids if I died while they were young?

💜 How would I want my kids to receive their inheritance?

💜 Who would I trust to administer my estate?

💜 Who would I trust to make decisions for me if I couldn't?

💜 What are my wishes for my body after I die?

💜 What assets do I have that might sit outside my Will?

These are the big-picture questions that can help you start thinking about your estate plan.

From there, the important part is getting proper advice about how those wishes should be documented and what strategies may be appropriate for your circumstances.

Because there is a big difference between having a list of wishes and having an estate plan that is properly structured to give effect to them.

There are a lot of things we assume will just happen when we die.

Our partner will get everything.

Our kids will get their inheritance when they're old enough.

Our family will know where to find everything.

Our super will go through our Will.

And surely our family will be able to agree on what happens next.

But estate planning is full of things that aren't quite as automatic as people think.

The law has rules for what happens when you die, but those rules don't necessarily reflect what you would have chosen for your family.

That's why having a Will is important.

And why, for many people, a Will is only one part of the plan.

If there's something you care about, don't assume it will happen.

Make a plan for it.

“What sort of people do you usually work with and how much does an estate plan cost?”

There’s a pretty broad range, but most of our clients have an estimated net wealth somewhere between $1.5 million and $16 million.

We also have clients outside that range. Your net wealth is simply your assets less your liabilities.

That might mean adding up the value of your home, superannuation, investments, life insurance and any other valuable assets, then taking away things like your mortgage, credit card debt, and other loans.

The amount you’ll pay for your estate plan depends on what your plan needs to cover.

Some clients come to us wanting a standard Will to cover simple gifting.

Others need more comprehensive planning, which might involve testamentary trusts, superannuation, Powers of Attorney, Advance Health Directives, trusts, companies, SMSFs or other more complex arrangements.

That’s why our fees cover a range rather than there being one price for everyone.

The reel gives you a better idea of the types of clients we commonly work with and the range of fees involved, depending on the planning required.

[NB: Pricing is current at the time of publishing and may change in the future. Check our website for the latest price guide under the "How We Can Help" tab or contact us for current pricing.]

If you became unable to make decisions for yourself tomorrow, who would step in?

A lot of people assume it would be their partner.
Or their mum.
Or their adult child.

But being the person who loves you most doesn’t automatically give someone the legal authority to make decisions for you.

That’s one of the reasons an Enduring Power of Attorney matters.

An EPA lets you choose who you want to make decisions for you if you lose capacity.

You can choose someone you trust, while you still have the capacity to make that decision yourself.

Without an EPA, there may be no one with automatic authority to step in. An application may need to be made to QCAT, and QCAT ultimately decides who is appointed.

That means you may have no control over who ends up making decisions on your behalf.
And neither does your family.

An EPA is one part of a complete estate plan. It sits alongside documents like your Will, Letter of Wishes, and Advance Health Directive, which each have different jobs.

You don't need to be old to need an EPA.
You just need to be an adult whose life could change unexpectedly.

When people think about estate planning, they usually think about who gets their money.

There is a whole lot more to think about when you have a family.

If you died tomorrow, who would know:
💜 Which school your kids attend?
💜 What activities they do?
💜 Who looks after the pets?
💜 Which bills need to be paid?
💜 Where your important documents are?
💜 Which accounts, insurance policies, and superannuation you have?
💜 Which belongings are especially meaningful to your family?
💜 What you would want to happen to the things your kids have grown up with?

Some of these things are legal questions. Some are practical. Some are simply information your family may desperately need at a very difficult time.

That is why I think about estate planning as much more than a Will.

You don't need to solve every question today.
Start with the one that’s most important to you.

Save this as a reminder to work through them.

You don't need a million-dollar investment portfolio to need an estate plan.

You need people you love.

If you have kids, a partner, a home, pets, a business, savings, superannuation, personal belongings or simply people you care about, there are decisions worth making about what happens if you die or become unable to make decisions for yourself.

An estate plan can help answer questions like:
💜 Who would care for my kids?
💜 Who would make decisions for me if I couldn't?
💜 Who would deal with my estate?
💜 What happens to my home, money, and belongings?
💜 How should my children receive their inheritance?
💜 What are my wishes for my body and funeral?

You don't need to have everything figured out before you begin.

You just need to start thinking about the people you want to protect and what that might look like.
