WILL - do I need an Aussie one?
I have a UK will as I still have property there, which will be left to my OH in the event of my death, and my other personal effects to my niece. Do I need a will here in Australia now that I live here, and will it replace my UK will? PS I don't own any property or anything very exciting, worth giving, in Australia!

Did one with them a few months ago.
You can go back at any time and modify it.
One of the advantages is that they keep an original copy of your wills so no need worrying about keeping it safe in a bank or somewhere you pay.
Their rates for the likes of executor services are also much cheaper than solicitors but you don't have to use them.
