    Hmmm, a free-will kit aye. A good product for those who are easily manipulated, and/or overly fatalistic I suppose. I wonder how much it is?

    • jackspratt on 02/04/2015 - 22:39

      Overly fatalistic aye - does that mean people who expect to die at some time in the future?

      I have used newsagent wills twice in the past in two different states - both easily got through probate, and the respective estates were divided according to the terms.

      My own will has been prepared on the same basis, and I don't expect my Executor to have any issues.

      Uncomplicated wills ain't rocket science.

        "Overly fatalistic aye - does that mean people who expect to die at some time in the future?"

        You clearly missed the entire meaning of this particular post of mine (as in… "whoosh; over the head"). Pay careful attention to the hyphenation I used in "free-will"; and the mention of price directly following, which was intended to ensure that everyone "got" the joke. Have you ever heard of the term, "free-will"?

        I did post my serious opinions/advice on DIY wills further down in the thread, btw.

          Yep - looked at your post further on, and then further on, before I considered them and replied to this one.

          Your semantics don't hide your message.

          I am happy to stick with mine.

        There is no such thing as a free will kit. There's only the illusion of a free will kit.

    I'm surprised this hasn't been upvoted more, a will is a pretty essential document imho.

      Problem is, these 'DIY' (kit) ones are usually not worth the paper they're written on. They're only marginally better than having no will at all, particularly if anyone decides to contest; so they could actually be bad, in that they could lull peeps into a false sense of security, re what would happen to their estate after they died. Check out what happened to Peter Brock re his (erm, 'budget') 'will', if you're particularly interested. Though frankly, it's a dead boring subject.

      • Tasmaniac on 02/04/2015 - 21:42

        oh ok, fair call. Nobody wants to get stiffed, even after life!:).

        • GnarlyKnuckles on 02/04/2015 - 21:52

          Oh aye… if you get stiffed after becoming a stiff, because you'd cheaped out on a DIY will, most peeps would be like… 'ah, stiff cheese, mate'… ;P

      • JediJan on 03/04/2015 - 15:07

        Some people find them rather essential, like my mother; she has to sort the mess in her will to cover the lot of half brothers, step brothers, foster grand-daughter and her son. What of my brother's ex-wife's son and daughter too? Sorry, shouldn't have brought up the ex-wife but it is assumed she will contest everything.

        Life can be complicated. I, fortunately in this circumstance, have only one son, so I don't think I need a will yet.

        • Snoop on 03/04/2015 - 23:42
          +1

          To start; how old a son? I'm assuming over 18!
          Secondly; when something happens to you, is he amidst his grieving not only supposed to organize your final arrangements but also seek out the correct government dept and forms to file as well as his own legal representation?
          For a couple of hundred dollars, it'll save him a few bucks and a heap of extra unnecessary grief at the time!

      • shaybisc on 03/04/2015 - 17:43

        I am sure that ozbargainers can do much better than bonehead Brock in preparing a valid will. The contested will was unsigned- hint- sign the damn thing- and even the earlier one that was accepted by the court was blank in the section that gave instructions on how his property should be divided- he wanted his wife to fill that part in after his death, I kid you not- what a knucklehead.

    It's would be a great shame if you spent your entire life scrimping and saving, in the true OzBargain spirit, only to have everything you've saved disappear into the pockets of greedy lawyers when everyone contests your el cheapo Will before your corpse was even cold.

    This is probably something you want to see a proper trustee about.

    • ItsMeAgro on 03/04/2015 - 09:54

      Are pricey wills better than cheap ones though? My lawyer friend says the problem is more that, under our laws, the wishes of living relatives have a bit too much influence over the estate of the deceased (and expensive wills have no special magic against it that cheap wills lack).

      • [Deactivated] on 03/04/2015 - 12:34

        You might be right. I just prefer to sit down with someone who actually understands how the law works and make sure it is in the hands of people who deal with this stuff as a career than go with someone online who I know nothing about and have no confidence handing over information to.

    I was silly enough to buy one of the best DIY will kits out there according to Choice. After handing over my money and getting a copy, I told myself that I could have done it better. Ended up writing one myself and getting appropriate witnesses to sign.

    Getting a will done isn't rocket science, just do some reading yourself first.

    My 2 cents…

    A mate has just SMSd asking if I'm being '… on the level about Brocky'. I am; please see:

    http://www.attwoodmarshall.com.au/bathurst-1000-legend-peter…

    A quote there-from, for those who want the short version:

    "Had Brock taken the time to ensure his wishes were validly recorded, he would have saved his family additional pain and suffering. This case serves to highlight the dangers of ‘do it yourself’ will kits and the importance of ensuring your estate is in order."

    "Free Will Kit"
    From the title I expected it to be like Aust Post's, and a physical copy delivered. Or at least downloadable as mentioned above.
    A "Kit" refers to a physical object I would have thought. This aint a Kit it's an online account with a completed form emailed to the account holder.

    Anyhow appreciate the effort, but can't force out a click to upvote the deal.

    Also if this is the same deal as a year or so ago, even in my simple situation, I didnt qualify to complete the process.

    Probably best to get an Aust Post Will Kit, if doing it properly through a Lawyer isn't justified.

    At least a properly drawn up Will Kit allows family members (at worst) to argue it out based on your stated intentions.

    I don't believe in free will. I think life is predetermined.

    However, as it happens, fate made me a tightarse, and so a free will kit is something I appreciate :)

          Erm, your asking the wrong guy here, but just based on what I've heard being bandied around over the (relatively insignificant) years of my existence by my religious friends, I'd say he would maybe 'turn the water into wine' (if there was no booze at the party), or, 'turn all the booze into water' (if everyone was getting a bit too pissed at the party). I understand he's pretty versatile like that.

    Regardless of the size of the estate, and assuming the willer actually owns the property in the will, why wouldn't it?

    This site creates a PDF file which can be easily saved as MS Word. I completed the information on the web site using generic terms e.g. "(name)" etc so none of my personal information is stored on their site.

    It is a very simplistic will kit - best avoided and go for the Australia Post or other version.

    In Qld the public trustee office http://www.pt.qld.gov.au/wills/ prepares free wills - NOTE: make sure the executor is not the Public Trustee as they take a fee for managing your estate when you die. The basis of the Public Trustee's charges is similar to that of the solicitor in that a "fee for service" charge is applied for the work undertaken in completing the administration of an estate which is also based on an hourly fee. Upon accepting the administration of an estate, the matter is allocated to a Trust Officer who will attend all work required in administering the estate.

    As with all legal-related things its best to speak with a professional if you have a sizable estate. For example, when selecting a Trustee it maybe a good idea to select 2 Trustees just in case one is not available (i.e. passes away).

    Also be aware that a witness can not be a recipient.
