If you die without a Will, you are considered at law to have died ‘intestate’ (in-tess-tate).
In these circumstances, your assets will be distributed in accordance with Intestacy laws, the specifics of which differ across each State/Territory.
Dying without a Will doesn’t come without consequences for those left behind, and can lead to:
Decisions being made about your assets that don't reflect your wishes
Your loved ones having to make difficult decisions on your behalf
Exorbitant legal fees and lengthy court proceedings
A person being appointed as your Estate Administrator who you wouldn't choose yourself.
