Basic or Simple Wills

At Cronin Miller Litigation, we believe that every adult should have a Will, and for many, a basic Will is the perfect place to start (and certainly better than no Will).

What is a basic Will?

A basic Will is a document which outlines:

  • who you want to receive your assets, such as money, property and personal items when you pass away;
  • who you want to manage your estate; and
  • who you wish to care for your children, if any of them are under the age of 18 when you die.

It’s a simple and straightforward way to ensure your wishes are respected, your loved ones are protected and your estate is distributed according to your instructions, rather than being left to default government rules. Without a Will, the law decides what happens to your assets. This can lead to delays, disputes and unwanted outcomes.

At Cronin Miller Litigation, we can help you:

  • draft an easy-to-understand Will;
  • choose the right executor;
  • plan for minor children or vulnerable family members;
  • give you advice on any potential issues or risks; and
  • avoid common mistakes that could lead to disputes later on.

Whether you are preparing your first Will or updating your old Will, we are here to make the whole process straightforward and stress-free.
