Wills & Deceased Estates
Making a Will, having a Power of Attorney and Enduring Guardianship together with a well prepared estate plan will ensure peace of mind for you and your family for years to come…
Planning for the inevitable is something that many people do not like to think about. However you will save your family a great deal of unnecessary stress, expense and hardship if you take a little time now to plan for the future by making a Will your intentions are carried out as effectively as possible.
At Bateman Battersby Lawyers Penrith we have a wealth of experience in making Wills, Powers of Attorney and Enduring Guardianships and advising on estate planning strategies to suit a wide variety of situations, and would be more than happy to help you with yours.
When it comes to actually administering a deceased estate, an executor has the task of finalising financial affairs and distributing inheritances to the beneficiaries. This can often be a complex and confusing job, and comes at a time of grieving. If you have been appointed as an executor in a Will, we can help you with the process and offer you quality advice about the most cost effective and expedient way of dealing with the estate.

FAQ
Legal questions
answered
Can I prepare my own Will?
While it’s legally possible to prepare your own Will, mistakes can be costly and may invalidate your Will entirely. Professional Will preparation ensures your document meets all legal requirements, clearly expresses your wishes, and minimises the risk of disputes. The cost of professional preparation is minimal compared to the potential problems of a DIY Will.
Do I need to update my Will regularly?
Your Will should be reviewed whenever you experience major life changes such as marriage, divorce, births, deaths, significant asset changes, or moving states. We recommend reviewing your Will every 3-5 years to ensure it remains current with your circumstances and any changes in the law.
How can proper planning prevent family disputes?
Clear, comprehensive estate planning significantly reduces the risk of family disputes after your death. We draft Wills that minimise ambiguity and ensure fair provision, helping preserve family relationships. Learn about Will disputes we help resolve.
How long does it take to prepare a Will?
Simple Wills can typically be prepared within 1-2 weeks from our initial meeting. More complex estate planning involving trusts or business succession may take 3-4 weeks. We’ll provide you with a realistic timeline based on your specific requirements during your consultation.
How much does Will preparation cost?
We believe in transparent pricing with no surprises. During your initial consultation, we’ll provide a clear cost estimate based on your specific situation. Many of our services offer fixed-fee options for straightforward Wills, while complex estate planning is billed at competitive hourly rates. We always explain costs upfront before you commit.
What happens if I die without a Will in NSW?
If you die without a Will (intestate) in NSW, your assets are distributed according to a predetermined formula set by law. This may not reflect your actual wishes and can create complications for your family. The court appoints an administrator to manage your estate, which can be time-consuming and expensive.
What’s the difference between a Will and estate planning?
A Will is one component of comprehensive estate planning. While a Will directs how your assets are distributed after death, estate planning includes strategies for incapacity, tax minimisation, asset protection, and succession planning. We help you understand what level of planning is right for your situation.
