Family Law Fact: What is a Will?
--------------------------------



A Will is a legal document that explains what your wishes are in relation to disposing of your assets and who you want to perform your wishes in the event of your death. This will also include your wishes on a guardian for any surviving children under the age of 18 years. It is never pleasant discussing issues around our own mortality, but it is really important to have a valid Will that makes sure that your wishes are carried out and that your loved ones are provided for.

What are the requirements for a legal Will? What will make a will invalid?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

A Will is used to protect the wishes of the deceased, who is known as the testator. A valid Will needs to meet these requirements:

- It must be in writing
- The Will has to be signed in the presence of two witnesses, who cannot be a beneficiary or spouse of a beneficiary
- The testator has to be over 18 years old
- The testator must be sound mind and entered into the Will freely and without any duress

If these are not all met, the Will is going to be invalid.
