A great reminder to everyone: Wills should be reviewed regularly as lives and circumstances change.
Unexpected deaths with outdated and/or informal wills can result in significant payments from estates to lawyers and families torn apart by arguments over entitlement, rather than what the you actually wanted to happen.
By being proactive in managing your estate plan, you can ensure that your wishes are carried out smoothly and without any unnecessary conflicts or challenges for your loved ones. It can give you peace of mind knowing that your affairs are in order and that your loved ones will be taken care of according to your wishes.
And do it today, not tomorrow

Speaking at the ABE Annual Forecasting Conference last month, the RBA's head of economic analysis, Marion Kohler, said there had been a significant divergence in the path of core goods and services price inflation.
“Like in many other advanced economies, most of the decline in inflation so far in Australia has been from lower goods price inflation,” she said.
