Most Wills In Australia Are Not Worth The Paper They Are Written On.
Here is what most people never get told about wills.
A standard will does not control your super. It does not control assets in a family trust. It does not always control jointly owned property. Without the right documents in place, your assets can land with the wrong person by default.
The result is a family sitting in a lawyer's office months after the funeral, finding out the will only covers a fraction of what was left behind. Legal fees climb. Siblings stop speaking. The estate gets tied up for a year or more.
You want it done properly, once, by someone who knows what to look for.

We sit down with you, map every asset you own, and build the documents that actually protect what you leave behind.

Not All Wills Are Built The Same
Here is exactly what you get with Baldwins compared to the off-the-shelf alternative.
Straight Answers, Plain English
Most families are done in two appointments over two to three weeks. One to map your estate, one to review and sign. More complex estates take longer, and we will give you a clear timeline upfront.
If it is more than five years old, or anything has changed (new property, trust, business, grandchild, family divorce), yes. Old wills regularly miss assets added after they were drafted. A 60-minute review tells you where you stand.
Queensland intestacy laws decide where your assets go, not you. The formula is rigid, often unfair, and your estate gets tied up in court while it is applied.
Yes. Certain family members can make a claim under Queensland's Succession Act. The way your will is drafted, and the supporting documents around it, can significantly reduce the chance of a successful challenge.
A will only kicks in after you die. A power of attorney and guardianship cover what happens if you are alive but cannot make decisions for yourself. Without them, your family has to apply to a tribunal. All three are included in the one consultation.
