Variety WA is offering the community a free Will writing week from 17-24 March. Delivered in partnership with Safewill, the Wills created are reviewed by a lawyer and are a valid legal document.
In Australia, a significant portion of the adult population has not formalised their final wishes through a legal Will. It is estimated that between 30-40% of all Australians will pass away without a valid Will, even though they may be intending to create one.
We all understand the importance of sharing our final wishes and not creating a Will risks leaving our loved ones to make complex decisions at a very difficult time. This can result in potential legal and financial complications for families when a loved one passes away without leaving clear instructions about their estate.
The absence of a legal Will can lead to unintended distribution of assets, legal disputes, and added stress for remaining family members.
Taking a proactive step now can offer peace of mind and prevent potential complications for loved ones in the future.
We encourage everyone to take advantage of this fantastic opportunity from Safewill to secure their legacy and provide clear instructions.
Variety WA Chief Executive Officer, Chris Chatterton expressed the importance of making your final wishes known: “A little bit of forward thinking now can remove tough decisions for your family during an emotional time. Writing a Will is an important step in ensuring that your final wishes are honoured.
“A valid Will provides clarity and peace of mind for you and your loved ones. By taking up Variety WA and Safewill’s free offer, you are making a generous decision to help your family and loved ones understand how to honour your last wishes.” He said.
