Wills and Estate Planning
Blended Families, Self-Employed, Trusts and Self-Managed Superannuation
Getting A Will Prepared
If you have recently purchased your first home, are starting a family, are transitioning to retirement or have experienced a change in your circumstances, a family member or friend may have recommended that you think about preparing your Will.
It can be difficult to know where to start when thinking about your Will, and because of this, many people pass away without preparing a Will. This is called having an “intestate estate”, and it may result in your estate being distributed other than you intend. Partnering with an experienced estate planning lawyer can make preparing your Will less daunting than it otherwise would be.
After working with us, you will experience peace of mind knowing that you have left your legal affairs in order for your loved ones. We appreciate that nobody likes to think about leaving behind loved ones and having to make challenging decisions such as who to entrust with finalising your estate, who would be the trusted guardian for your precious young children and how you would like to share your hard-earned assets.
Our Approach to Estate Planning
At Ryder Lawyers Solicitor, our approach to preparing your Will is personal, because we appreciate you entrusting us with the role of making sure your loved ones are looked after if you pass away.
