1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: You're listening to a share these podcast, So can you

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:08,639
Speaker 1: talk about if you don't have a will, what happens

3
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: with your assets.

4
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 2: So, if you've got over fifteen thousand dollars and you

5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 2: die without a will, it's what they call dying intestate,

6
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 2: which essentially means that someone needs to apply to administer

7
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 2: your will. And the person who administers your will is

8
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 2: basically the person that collects all of those assets, maybe

9
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 2: cashes in some things, might sell property on your behalf,

10
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 2: and then ultimately distributes it according to that formula that

11
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 2: I talked about, and you have to apply to the

12
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 2: family court through what we call a kind of probate

13
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 2: application process in order to have the rights to do that.

14
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 2: So if you don't have a will, it can cost

15
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 2: you a few thousand more dollars in terms of that

16
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 2: process and navigating those legal fees. It also can be

17
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 2: quite stressful because what you think that person might have wanted,

18
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: what that person actually wanted, and what that formula set

19
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 2: out in the Administration Act say, should happen could all

20
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 2: be very different things. And often at public trust we

21
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 2: step in where families might not necessarily agree or there's

22
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 2: a little bit of conflict and we help to work

23
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 2: through that and find the best outcome and try and

24
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 2: make sure that everybody can grieve and celebrate their loved

25
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: one as well as work through the administration and the

26
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 2: life amen that comes with that.

27
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, So the importance of having a will is making

28
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 3: sure that you get to leave the legacy you want

29
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 3: to leave behind to those that you ultimately want to

30
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 3: be able to inherit that. And without that, there's no

31
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 3: kind of control over that, and you'll ultimately create potentially

32
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 3: more of a hard situation for those left to have

33
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 3: to deal with the moarole and the courts and all

34
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 3: that sort of jazz.

35
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 4: Absolutely, it's a really beautiful gift that you can give

36
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 4: to people, to be really clear, and I think it's one.

37
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: Of the best gifts that you can leave when you're

38
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 2: no longer here.

39
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: Investing involves risk.

40
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 3: You might lose the money you start with.

41
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 2: We recommend talking to a licensed financial advisor. We also

42
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 2: recommend reading product or sclosure documents before deciding to invest.
