Got questions?

We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

Should I give a copy of my will to my executor?

Yes, it is a good idea to let the executor of your estate know that theyve been chosen for this roll and give them a copy of your Will, too. That way, theyll already be familiar with your wishes after you die and can go ahead with probating your will after you pass away.

Do you need the original will?

The original versions of legal documents, such as wills and powers of attorney are the only legally binding versions. Scans, photocopies and computer records are not legally valid because they dont have your original signature on them. The original will is your only will and must be kept safely.

What is the biggest mistake with wills?

If your language is ambiguous or your intentions are not clear it could lead to instructions not being followed properly or the will being ruled invalid. Ensure you seek professional advice when writing a will, and that all of the proper steps are taken, including having the will witnessed.

Can an executor ask for a copy of the will?

While Executors are legally entitled to see the Will, they may have to apply for a Grant of Probate in order to carry out their duties in regards to the estate, particularly in situations where money is held by an outside organisation or the deceased owned property solely in their own name.

What information should I provide to my executor?

Update Your Will, Trust, and Beneficiary Designations The best present you can give your executor is a set of documents that reflects your wishes. Take a look at your will or trust, the beneficiary forms for your retirement accounts, and any payable-on-death designations that youve added to bank or brokerage accounts.
