If Life Ends Without a Valid Will Prepared

Understanding what happens when there's no valid will in Queensland

Reminder: The Importance of Having a Will

If you pass away without a valid will in Queensland, the Succession Act 1981 determines how your assets are distributed. This may not align with your wishes and can create additional stress for your loved ones during an already difficult time.
