Beneficiaries

Your beneficiaries are those who will inherit your estate assets when you pass away. You should also consider substitute beneficiaries in the event your primary beneficiaries do not survive you.

Executors

Your executors are appointed to administer your estate in accordance with your Will. You may appoint your primary beneficiaries or someone else you trust.

Specific Gifts

You can gift specific belongings to certain people. You may also prepare a list of personal belongings to accompany your Will if you have yet to decide what to gift and to whom.

Joint Ownership

Properties owned jointly do not form part of your estate. It will immediately be transferred to the other owner upon your passing.

Organ Donation

You may express whether you would like your organs to be donated. You may also specify whether you wish for your organs to be donated to the body of a living person and/or for medical research purposes.

Disposal of your Body

You may express how you would like your body to be “disposed of”. Common choices include burial or cremation.

Guardians

If you have minor children, you should appoint guardians for your children in the event their other parent or guardian does not survive you.

Contemplation of Marriage

Wills are effectively revoked upon marriage or divorce. If you contemplate marriage with your partner, you may express in your Will that it is in contemplation of that marriage.

Superannuation

Superannuation is a non-estate asset, and therefore cannot be managed by your Will. You may need to complete a Binding Death Benefit Nomination to ensure that your super is paid out to your chosen beneficiaries.

Enduring Power of Attorney

An Enduring Power of Attorney appoints a person you trust to manage your property, personal care, health care and medical research matters in the event a medical practitioner observes that you have lost your decision-making capacity. FGD can also assist in drafting an Enduring Power of Attorney along with a Will, in the form of a package.
