Making a will can be simple and need not be expensive. It must be properly signed and witnessed. It is best to have a solicitor or public trustee make your will for you. While there are DIY kits, it is safer to get a professional to do your will to make sure it is done right. A will should appoint an executor who is responsible for seeing the terms of your will are carried out.
Solicitors’ fees vary and can depend on the complexity of the will. The Public Trustee Qld (PTQ) provides a free will making service at their offices around Queensland, or in emergency situations can visit adults in hospital/palliative care facilities for a travel fee. The PTQ retains the original and provides you a copy. You can appoint the PTQ as your executor. Administration fees will be incurred after you pass away. Phone 1300 360 044; www.pt.qld.gov.au
