NEW VIC SUCCESSION LAWS? SPOTLIGHT ON ESTATE PLANNING

Cassandra Townsend, Manager, Precedent Lawyer

I recently read an article about proposed new succession laws in Victoria that will limit the categories of people eligible to contest a will.

Among other things, this demonstrates the importance of a comprehensive estate plan and a clearly drafted will. Cleardocs provides tools to help you achieve this through its various estate planning products:

• ClearWill Online;
• ClearWill with Trusts for Law Firms;
• Powers of Attorney in NSW and Vic;
• Death benefit arrangements.

In response to customer feedback, I am currently working in conjunction with expert lawyers at Maddocks to make available to customers further resources to assist you with your estate plan. These will be released from later this month and include:

• additional document package inclusions.
• ClearLaw articles.
• sample documents;
• visual aids; and
• more.

Stay tuned in the months ahead.
