What You Need To Know

Can I Change My Will Without A Lawyer?

While it is possible to make changes to your Will independently, consulting with a specialised Wills lawyer ensures that the amendments are legally sound and effectively incorporated. Even a simple error or accidental omission can lead to significant Estate litigation risks, and employing the assistance of a professional Estate lawyer can help circumvent this. To ensure that your Will is carried out properly, employing an Estate lawyer such as those found at Brydens Lawyers, is ideal. Our team will provide expert Estate services to help guide you through the correct process of modifying your Will and ensuring that all changes meet the appropriate legal standards and compliances while truly reflecting your wishes.


Can I Change Someone Else's Will If I Am An Executor?

The role of an executor is to administer someone else’s Estate as outlined within their Will, while following strict legal and ethical guidelines. As an executor, you do not have the authority to change the Will of an already deceased individual. If disputes arise as a result of the Will, or if a family member challenges the Will’s provisions, you may require a resolution via the Supreme Court or through formal Estate litigation processes. Brydens Lawyers can provide essential legal advice or representation if necessary, while ensuring that the deceased’s intentions are honoured and all of your legal obligations as an executor are met.


When Do I Need A Wills And Estate Lawyer?

It is recommended that you seek a Wills and Estates lawyer at your earliest convenience prior to the drafting of your Will and whenever you feel that changes or adjustments are necessary. More complex scenarios, such as business succession planning, establishing trusts or family provision claims are also ideal situations in which one would obtain a legal professional’s advice and assistance. If your Estate includes substantial assets, multiple beneficiaries or potentially complex legalities, professional legal support becomes an indispensible way to manage your Estate and affairs effectively and avoid future Estate litigation or disputes.
