Making a Will Geelong – FAQs
Making a Will involves the creation of a legal document that sets out your wishes for what you would like to happen to your estate when you are no longer here, which takes effect after your passing. Having a valid will can give you peace of mind that your estate will be distributed to your beneficiaries as you intend, and in addition, provides your loved ones with legal protection to ensure your wishes are complied with.
What if I die without a current Will?
If you die without a current Will, the law will decide what happens to your estate. This may mean that your estate is not distributed in the way that you wish. Your estate could also be distributed in accordance with an old Will. If no will exists, the court will appoint an administrator to distribute your estate following legal rules known as the rules of intestacy, which means your assets may go to your spouse or domestic partner, children or parents, or more distant relatives. If you have no living relatives, your property will go to the State.
Do I need to choose an executor?
An executor is a person or trustee company that will manage your estate after you die. Your Will names the executor and gives them the power to deal with your estate. This is in accordance with the terms of your Will. Your executor could be a family member, friend, lawyer, or other professional, such as an accountant or trustee company. When choosing an executor, it is advised to consider their circumstances and skill set to decide if they are suitable.
Who is legally entitled to benefit from my estate?
You are expected to take care of any dependents in your Will if they need your help and you have the resources. Dependents may include your partner or children, even if they are adults. If you don’t include these people, they may be able to challenge or contest your Will. If their claim on your estate succeeds, the court will make an order to give some of your estate to that person.

Power of Attorney – FAQs
What is a Power of Attorney?
A Power of Attorney is a legal document that authorises the person you nominate to act on your behalf. Should you be unable to yourself, due to mental illness, physical disability, or simply because you are not currently available. It takes effect during your lifetime and gives someone else the authority to make decisions and execute documentation for you whilst you are not in a position to do so.
What are the different types of Power of Attorney?
- Enduring Power of Attorney: At a time of your choosing or at the point where you no longer have the capacity to make decisions about your finances, your property, or paying your bills, an attorney appointed by you as an Enduring Power of Attorney will have the legal authority to act on your behalf to ensure your best interests are taken care of.
- Enduring Power of Attorney (Medical): Wherever possible, your Attorney appointed as Medical Power of Attorney will be able to accept or refuse medical treatments, surgeries, and medication on your behalf. There are restrictions to their range of power.
- General non-enduring power of attorney: Appointed to make financial decisions for a specific purpose or set period of time (generally used in companies and not initiated by illness).
Who can I appoint as my Attorney?
Generally, a spouse, partner, relative, or close friend is chosen as someone’s Attorney.
Keep in mind, that this person must:
- Act in your best interest
- Keep accurate records of their decisions on your behalf
- Avoid conflicts of interest
- Keep your finances and property separate from their own
You can limit their range of power by choosing the tasks they are responsible for and which they aren’t; you can also appoint more than one so that they must make joint or majority decisions.

Deceased Estates
A Deceased Estate is formed when someone dies, and all property and/or belongings that were owned in their sole name that holds any monetary value.

Compared to a residential lease, commercial leases are more complicated as the lease terms can vary significantly from lease to lease and may also vary according to whether the lease is for commercial premises or retail premises. Before signing a commercial lease, both parties need to understand the terms and ensure they can meet all the terms and conditions.
There are various forms of lease agreement and with that, varying types of legislation. We can help you make sense of it all and guide you through the terms of your agreement to help you make the right decision for your business.
Commercial leasing needs to be structured strictly in accordance with the law. Take expert commercial lease legal advice from our team of commercial leasing professionals at The Hrkac Group.
