Making Your Will

Making a Will is one of the most powerful things you can do for the people you love. Without one, the law — not you — decides how your assets are distributed, who cares for your children, and who steps in to manage your estate. It’s a gap most families don’t discover until it’s too late.

Under Victorian law, a valid Will must meet specific legal requirements to be enforceable — learn more at Victoria Legal Aid.

At Respect Wills & Estates, we make the process of making a Will straightforward, personal, and genuinely easy to understand. We draft all Wills in plain English — no legal jargon, no confusion — so you always know exactly what your documents mean and why each decision matters.

Whether your situation is straightforward or involves complex structures like Testamentary Trusts, blended families, business interests, or self-managed super funds, we take the time to understand your full picture before we put pen to paper. The result is a Will that truly reflects your wishes — not a template.


What a properly prepared Will does for you:

  • Ensures your assets go to the right people, in the right way;
  • Appoints someone you trust to manage your estate;
  • Names a guardian for your children if the unthinkable happens;
  • Minimises the risk of family disputes and legal challenges;
  • Can protect beneficiaries through a Testamentary Trust — particularly useful for blended families, minor children, or beneficiaries with special needs.

 

What to expect when you make a Will with us:

A free 15-minute discovery call to understand your situation, followed by a personalised meeting (in person or via video) to walk through your options. Most straightforward Wills are completed within a few weeks.

I cannot thank the Rest Wills & Estate Team, especially Nadya, enough for making my experience a warm and reassuring interaction. It’s not the easiest when making a Will but the empathy, with factual information and support from Nadya, made it really easy and seamless for me. Thank you!
