Last Will & Testament
Hi all,
We've been in Perth for 2 years now and want to update our wills. Just wondered if anyone has any tips for wills in Australia. Are our current wills from the UK valid over here? Can anyone recommend someone experienced in writing up wills for someone with assets in both countries?
Thanks,
Susette

Hi ya
As far as I know, you will have to have a Will in the UK covering your UK assests and one here in Oz covering any Assests held here.
You should go to a Solicitor and have one done up. They dont generally cost too much, ours was only $90.
