Absolutely! We encourage regular updates to your Will, especially during significant life changes like marriage, divorce, or the birth of children.

If you die without signing your will, known as dying intestate, your next of kin may need to apply for a Grant of Letters of Administration. Wills On Wheels can assist throughout this process.

We offer flexibility in meeting locations, including your home, workplace, care facility, hospital, or any other suitable location.

To ensure your Will is legally binding, it must adhere to specific formalities, including being in writing, signed by the will-maker in the presence of two witnesses, and several other technicalities that we can guide you through.

Even if you believe you have no assets, creating a Will is still beneficial, as your estate may be entitled to benefits under insurance or superannuation policies.

Wills cannot be validly signed electronically, as original documents are required for Probate approval.
