Wills Lawyers Perth WA | HHG Legal Group

A legacy of love, thoughtfully prepared.

Life moves fast. Between work, family and all the little things that fill your days, it’s easy for ‘writing a Will’ to fall to the bottom of your ‘to do’ list. But taking the time to decide now isn’t just about creating something that is legally binding, it’s about peace of mind. It’s about knowing, no matter what happens, your family will be looked after in exactly the way you intended.

What happens if you don’t have a Will.

When there’s no Will, decisions about your estate (and sometimes even guardianship of your children) are made according to strict legal rules. Maybe your partner of 20 years receives nothing because you never married. Perhaps your estate gets split in ways that create tension rather than peace. Your family, who are already grieving, now face decisions you could have made so much easier for them.

We’ve sat down with too many families who wish their loved one had simply written down what they wanted. The conversations are harder, the process takes longer and sometimes people you cared about are left hurt or forgotten entirely.

A carefully prepared Will brings clarity, lets you stay in control, ensuring your assets go where they should and your children are protected by the people you trust most.

Preparing your Will.

The hardest part of creating a Will is starting. We help families across Perth navigate this process every day with clarity and care.

Our focus is straightforward: We make sure your assets reach the people you intend, in exactly the way you envision. No ambiguity, no confusion, just clear legal documentation that reflects your wishes.

Our Wills lawyers have spent years helping people through every type of Will, from simple situations to complex estates involving trusts, blended families or business interests. We can also prepare the documents that protect you during your lifetime including:

Enduring Powers of Attorney – EPA (someone you trust who can manage your finances if needed)
Enduring Powers of Guardianship – EPG (for personal and lifestyle decisions)
Advance Health Directives (ensuring your medical treatment preferences are respected)

Whatever your circumstances, we’ll guide you through the process step by step, explaining things in ways you’ll understand and making sure you feel confident about every decision.

FAQ.

Common questions we hear.

Yes, it is legal to write your own Will in Australia. Any individual over the age of 18 who is of sound mind can prepare their own Will. All you need to do to ensure your Will is valid is make sure that it is:
In writing: Your Will must be a written document, typed or handwritten.
Signed by you: Your signature at the end of the document confirms the Will’s validity.
Witnessed: Two independent witnesses (not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries) must witness you signing the Will and then sign it themselves.
The challenge isn’t the legality, it’s ensuring it actually works the way you intend. That’s where legal guidance becomes valuable.
Some situations really benefit from legal advice, including:
Owning significant assets or multiple properties
Having a blended family or complex family dynamics
Wanting to include trusts or detailed instructions
Needing to safeguard vulnerable dependents
A lawyer helps you structure everything clearly and avoid future disputes.
An Enduring Power of Attorney and Enduring Power of Guardianship let you choose who makes financial, medical and lifestyle decisions if you lose capacity.
Without these documents, you have no say in who is appointed, and your loved ones may face delays and additional processes through the State Administrative Tribunal.
The law has some requirements:
You must be 18 or over
You need to be of sound mind when you create your Will
The Will must be written
You must sign it in the presence of two independent witnesses who also sign
Your witnesses can’t be beneficiaries (or married to beneficiaries)
Get these things right, and your Will stands. Get them wrong, and your Will might be invalid.
Life changes, and your Will can too. Got married? Had a baby? Divorced? Purchased property? You should review your Will every few years and after any major life event.
