Do you have a last Will and testiment?
Missy Wyld25-Jan-23
I have a Will, (it's a bit old and needs an update) but my partner does not have a will.
We also have a business together. We are not married, (but been living together for 41 years this April - so yes I know de facto status etc comes into play).
But given our surnames are different, I think it would be much easier all around if he had a Will too.
He wants to, it's just one of those things, 'yes I'll get around to it one day'.
His Mum recently passed, there are 4 brothers in the family, and all have to agree on estate matters, and I think he has now seen how difficult it is, even with a Will.
What say ye? Do you have a Will, if not, why not (no judgement). Just curious.
(govt gets everything if you don't have a will, even if you leave all your worth to the animal welfare league! (better than the Govt getting it? (if you have no family to leave it to).

          No, because I refuse to accept the fact that I might die some day. I'm pretty sure I'll be in denial for at least another decade.

            By all means do yourselves a favor and get a will drawn up. The government can and will cheat you out of every penny given the chance. Do what you can to protect yourself and your loved ones against a predatory government and the government laws. We are taught that the love of money is the root of all evil....and the government loves money...especially yours and mine.

                My advice as someone who was married at the time of my spouse death where no will existed: it is a nightmare and won’t matter that you are married at time of death as all property acquired prior to marriage will be legally, separate and apart, from that acquired after marriage. A will changes that when your spouse leaves all earthly possessions to spouse and whatever they wish that was their personal property prior to marriage to whomever they choose or they can leave everything to spouse. Without a Will, you could have been living together unmarried for decades but, that arrangement isn’t recognized in most states and heirs of the unmarried deceased will appear and demand inheritance and your protestations will fail in Probate Court. Make a Will and if you discover your spouse rescinds it afterward (deceit) then get an attorney and get a divorce.

                      No, just don’t want to for some reason. I don’t have anything really and my super would be split 50/50 between my two children.

                            Yes. Makes it too hard if one doesn't.
