FAQs

We understand that creating a will is a deeply personal decision, and you deserve more than one-size-fits-all solutions or impersonal legal jargon. Our Queensland wills lawyers guide you with empathy and expertise so your wishes are clearly documented and your loved ones are protected. We offer modern solutions, such as secure online estate planning tools and clear, jargon-free advice, to make the process more accessible and understandable for you.

While it’s possible to write your own will in Queensland, it’s highly recommended that you seek professional legal assistance. Estate law can be quite complex, and even minor errors can have significant consequences for your loved ones.

Nurture Law’s experienced Queensland estate lawyers can guide you through the process, ensuring your will is comprehensive, legally sound and tailored to your specific wishes. We go out of our way to understand your unique circumstances and goals, offering personalised advice and support every step of the way.

Probate is not always required in Queensland, but it’s often necessary when dealing with specific assets. Probate also provides certain protections to executors.

If you’re unsure whether you need to apply for probate, our experienced Estate Administration Lawyers can assess your situation and help you apply for probate if necessary. We’ll explain the legal requirements, help you gather the required documentation and ensure the process is as smooth as possible.

Estate disputes can arise from various situations, including challenges to the will’s validity, disagreements among beneficiaries or claims for further provision from the estate. These disputes can be not only emotionally charged but also legally complex, which is why it’s crucial to have experienced legal guidance. A lawyer can assess your legal options, negotiate on your behalf and, if needed, represent your interests in court.

At Nurture Law, our experienced estate dispute lawyers will strive to resolve conflicts through collaborative and amicable means, preserving relationships whenever possible. Nevertheless, we are committed to fighting for your rights with expertise if litigation becomes necessary.

Absolutely! You can update your will at any time to reflect new circumstances, such as marriage, divorce, the birth of children or changes in your assets. We recommend reviewing your will regularly to ensure it aligns with your current wishes and needs. Nurture Law’s Queensland lawyers can offer guidance in making amendments or creating a new will altogether.

If someone dies without a will in Queensland, their estate is distributed according to intestacy laws, which determine who is entitled to inherit, with priority typically given to spouses, children and other close relatives. However, the distribution may not reflect the deceased person’s true wishes, and it can lead to family disputes.

To avoid unnecessary complications and ensure your loved ones are taken care of according to your intentions, make sure you have a valid will in place. Our seasoned Queensland wills lawyers can help you create a will to provide clarity to your loved ones after you’re gone.
