Estate planning in Australia is a process where individuals plan for the management and distribution of their assets after their death.

This process ensures that an individual’s wishes regarding their estate are carried out efficiently and effectively, and it can also involve making plans for end-of-life care and decisions.
When should estate planning begin?
Estate planning should ideally begin when an individual starts acquiring significant assets or when major life events occur, such as marriage, the birth of a child, or buying a home. It’s not just for the elderly or wealthy; rather, it’s a crucial step for anyone who wants to have a say in how their assets are handled posthumously.
