Foire aux questions
Are your Wills written and reviewed by solicitors in Australia?
Yes.
At Will Wizard, we rely on CCH Pinpoint® for our specialist legal information and on our consultant estate planning solicitors who review the legal precedents that our Will templates rely on. Our consultant solicitors have over 30 years’ experience in drafting comprehensive Wills for their clients that are drafted to minimise risk and maximise benefit for beneficiaries, while giving executors clear directions and authorities to carry out their duties.
“Wills from Will Wizard comply with Australian Succession legislation and once correctly signed and dated by the Will owner and two independent witnesses (as per the signing instructions provided by Will Wizard) represent valid Australian Wills.”

What if I need to make changes to my Will?
All Will Wizard customers have up to three years following delivery of their portfolio to request complimentary changes to their nominations and preferences.
New Will(s) expressing your updated nominations and preferences will then be mailed to you. These new Wills must be signed and witnessed as per the signing instructions provided in the Guide For Will Owners which is included in every portfolio.
Having or adopting additional children or accumulating additional assets does not mean you need to update you Will. Will Wizard accounts for the potentiality of additional children and changing assets.
Will Wizard standard pricing includes free changes for 3 years post-delivery, with a maximum of two change requests per year within that period. For each change request you can alter any original nominations and preferences.
What if I need to make changes to my Will AFTER the three years expires?
In many cases, you would need to purchase a new Will.

What information do I need to provide during the online form?
If you choose the standard estate distribution plan that leaves your estate to your beneficiaries in percentage shares (i.e. equal or unequal shares to my children), then all we need are basic details like the names and dates of birth of your beneficiaries and executors.
However, if you wish to leave specific major assets to specific people, then we would also need the details of the major asset that you wish to leave. For example, in the case of real estate like your home or investment property, we would need to address of the property.
