    Free Wills - Ends Sunday 19-05

    Saw this on Ozbargain and did both mine and the Wifes in under an hour. No catches and you don't have to use Slater and Gordon to execute the Will either.

    It’s National Law Week again, and to celebrate Slater & Gordon are giving away their Online Wills FREE.
    This service normally costs $199.There’s no hidden catches, it’s not often a law firm gives away something for free.
    Last year approximately 7600 Australians went online to take up this offer, and a lot of them came from OzBargain. According to research around 47% of Australians don’t have a valid Will. Our Online Will is simple to complete, convenient and this week it is free - so there is no reason to delay getting your affairs in order.
    To complete the service, you first need to complete a free estate planning self-assessment as a safety precaution.
    If your needs cannot be met by a Standard Online Will, it will explain why and provide guidance on the issues you need to address.
    What are you waiting for? Get started now. https://online.slatergordon.com.au/sgo/?
    Planning what happens to your estate after you pass away is something no one likes to think about, but we hope this free offer gives you and your family peace of mind.

    Best regards,
    Neil,
    Slater & Gordon IT department

    Someone else mentioned this and this was the response from Slaters....

    We recommend checking the caveats before you accepting any free Wills from trustee companies.
    Many offer free Wills ONLY if you appoint them as the executor of your estate, we don’t exercise this, there are no hidden catches in our free Wills offer.
    Many, not all, charge a fee for their service PLUS a commission based on the total value of the estate – it can be very expensive.
    Slater & Gordon do offer executorial services but not as a condition of providing a free will, nor do we charge commission for administering an estate.

    Thanks for that. It is something we have been meaning to do for ages, but never got around to it. Now we are both sorted.

    I have looked at the free ones, but I didn't like the terms and conditions on them. This one is great, no strings attached.

    Cheers - Gav.

    And here I was thinking there must have been a more formal remake of the film about a captured Orca with a bent dorsal fin!!

    I thought it meant we no longer have free will.
    I do not think I need a will yet as most of my assets are pretty sorted.
    If I did not have a will and I died who gets my money?

    In NSW an administrator must be appointed by the Supreme Court of NSW. So others will decide who gets your estate (whats left of it after the legal cost)

    In my opinion leaving a Will is more about the people you leave behind. Losing a loved one is bad enough without all the hassle of dealing with the legal system.
