For those with assets in Australia, no matter how small, Yuko Harding advocates the importance of creating a will in accordance with the inheritance laws of the specific state where the assets reside. This approach helps in avoiding the often time-consuming and costly process that can occur without a will, involving probate procedures and the submission of family registers to the court. Preparing an Australian will allows the executor and heirs to be designated in advance, facilitating a smoother process.
The firm currently assists with the preparation of wills in Queensland and ensures that these documents encompass all movable and immovable property in Australia. This means that clients do not need to update their wills regardless of changes in asset value or property holdings, providing peace of mind and legal clarity.
