This will is to be used when you want your estate to go to your partner or nominated adult. However, in the unfortunate circumstance where your spouse or nominated adult dies, then the children inherit your estate.
Other wills:
Wills are important but, sadly, often forgotten. If you do not make a will, then you are dying intestate were the government and the law will determine what happens to your estate. This can cause increased stress, confusion, arguments, and increased legal fees for your loved ones, which you want to avoid.
Your estate is the total assets you have accumulated over the course of your life. This is the total sum of possessions, property and money at the time of your death less any debts which are outstanding.
Requirements for a valid will
- Must be made by a person who is 18 years old or older.
- Made voluntarily without any pressure or duress from any other
person.
- Made by a person who is of sound mind. This means the person must be fully
aware of the nature of the document being written and aware of the property
and the identify of the people who will inherit.
- Must be in writing.
- Signed by the person making the will in the presence of two
witnesses.
- Signed by the two witnesses, in the presence of the person making the
will.
Please Note:
- The two witnesses cannot benefit or inherit under the will. If they do then they forfeit their inheritance.
- The will should be dated but is can be still valid if not. Problems arise
if there is more than one will.
What will you need?
- To decide who you want to be your Executor, the person that will manage

circumstances, this is optional. (other than the executor who gets what's left
after the gifts have been given out) .
