National Wills Week

September (annually)

Wills aren’t just for Boomers – Everyone 18 Years and over needs a Will

Running for a week every September, National Wills week has one key goal in mind - to bust the myth that advance life planning can wait until retirement.

Many Australians pass away each year without a valid Will, with a staggering proportion of adults falling within the 18 to 25-year age bracket. It’s time we dispel any misconceptions that end-of-life planning is reserved for the elderly.

A common misconception among young Australians is that they don’t have enough to warrant a Will. Yet, what can easily be overlooked are hard-earned savings, unexpected insurance payouts, the value of collectable items or vehicles, and extended family estates where the young person is named a beneficiary.

If you, or a young person in your orbit, has personal assets and responsibilities, such as a car, a savings account, insurance, or even collectables, it’s time to make a valid Will.

It's time we advance ourselves, future-proof our plans, and dispel the taboo. To start your Will-making process, contact your local solicitor, Citizens Advice Bureau, or the Public Trustee.
