Five reasons why young people need wills

In simple terms it is the story of your life and the lasting impression you might leave. Writing a will is your final message and allows you to have a say in how your affairs are managed when the time comes. It’s not always about the money and you might not want to think about it right now, but it’s part of getting older and worth sorting out. Eventually, you’ll be glad you did.

It is a sad truth that each year almost 1000 Australians die whilst travelling overseas*, usually through an accident or from illness. Don’t become a statistic, get things sorted by writing a will and preparing your powers of attorney as part of your travel preparations.

Military service can be high risk especially during active service. Anyone of entering the military should make a will and prepare powers of attorney documents.

If you have just received an inheritance, then you should have a will that details how to deal with the inheritance after your death.

It is not uncommon for people to include plans for their pets in their wills.  If the unthinkable were to happen and you died unexpectedly, what would happen to your beloved pet?

Without instructions from you in your will, your family and/or friends won’t know what to do with any photos or documents stored on your social media account or how to manage your social media account in the event of your death.

You don’t want to be a statistic, right? Making a will is something everyone over 18 should do but many people don’t get around to it. Most Australians under 50 don’t have a will. Buck the trend, write a will and update it whenever you experience a major life change like starting a family, buying a home or getting married.
