When making a will …

A Will is just words on a piece of paper. However, those words have to be correct and properly expressed to convey your wishes.

There is a litany of evidence showing that people’s wishes were not evident in their Will due to the fact it not been fully thought through and correctly drawn up.

Lawyers are kept busy and families argue and break apart.

Seems silly doesn’t it! A lifetime of work, yet the reluctance to put a correctly drawn Will in place for your family’s legacy and security. The cost for most couples is $550.00.
