Wills lawyer in the Sydney CBD

In NSW a will must be in writing, signed and witnessed by two people. Marano Family Lawyers in the Sydney CBD prepares and updates wills, and applies to the Supreme Court for statutory wills when someone cannot make one. The Sydney CBD office is at Unit 53/57 Liverpool St, Sydney NSW 2000.

Sign and witness your will at our Liverpool Street office in the city.

When a will needs attention

Life changes affect a will. Marriage generally cancels an earlier will unless it was made with that marriage in mind, and divorce cancels gifts to a former spouse. Separation alone does not, which is why anyone who has separated should review their will straight away.

Where a person lacks capacity, the NSW Supreme Court can authorise a statutory will, made or changed on their behalf.

FAQs

Asked before the first call

What makes a will valid in NSW?

Generally yes. Marano Family Lawyers in the Sydney CBD advises that marriage revokes an earlier will unless it was made in contemplation of that marriage.
I have separated. Do I need a new will?
Review it now. Marano Family Lawyers in the Sydney CBD notes that separation alone does not change a will, so a former partner may still benefit.

Not automatically. Marano Family Lawyers in the Sydney CBD checks whether your fund has a binding death benefit nomination.
