Life is busy. Kids need feeding. Work is relentless. The admin pile is already adding up and we’ve only just opened the door to 2026….

 

But here’s the truth we see every single day at Respect Wills & Estates:

 

 Everyday people delay getting their wills and powers of attorney sorted, and it’s often parents with young kids who have the most at stake.

 

If You’re a Parent of Children Under 18 — This Matters More Than You Think. This is the part people often don’t realise: A will isn’t just about “stuff” or money…. For parents, it’s about people.

 

Your will allows you to:

 

• Nominate who will care for your children if something happens to you

 

• Put the right safeguards in place for their future

 

• Avoid uncertainty, disputes, and stress for the people you love most

 

Without a will? Those decisions may be made by the system; not you. That’s not meant to scare you. It’s meant to empower you.

 

Then there’s Powers of Attorney (yep, you need these too). People assume powers of attorney are only for “later in life”. They’re not.

 

They’re for:

 

• Accidents

 

• Illness

 

• Unexpected medical events

 

• Situations where you’re temporarily unable to make decisions

 

Powers of attorney let you choose who can step in and help (both financially and medically) if you can’t do it anymore.

 

It’s not dramatic; it’s practical.

And it’s one of the kindest things you can do for yourself and your family.

 

At Respect Wills & Estates, we work with everyday people just like you. Wills are not just for retirees or high-net-worth clients. We are everyday people, and we understand everyday people. PLUS; we understand the importance of protecting your legacy.

 

Our sweet spot is helping everyday people. Parents. Professionals. Business owners. Single mums. Blended families. Couples who’ve been “meaning to do this for years”.

 

We:

 

• Explain things in plain English

 

• Take the time to understand your situation

 

• Help you feel confident, not overwhelmed

 

You don’t need a crisis to get your will done.

You don’t need to have “everything figured out”.

You just need to start.

 

And we’re here to help you do exactly that.
