New South Wales – Wills & Estates
In NSW, Wills and estates are governed by the Succession Act 2006, supported by the Probate and Administration Act 1898 and relevant case law. These laws provide a robust framework for testamentary freedom—balanced by protections for dependents and vulnerable parties.
At Make Your Will, we understand the nuances of NSW succession law and deliver legally compliant, empathetic service right in your home.
NSW-Specific Legal Highlights
- Revocation by Marriage or Divorce: Marriage automatically revokes a Will unless explicitly stated otherwise; divorce may affect gifts and appointments.
- Family Provision Claims: NSW has one of the broadest definitions of “eligible persons,” including grandchildren and former spouses.
- Informal Wills: Courts may accept non-standard documents as valid Wills if the deceased’s intentions are clear—making proper drafting all the more critical.
