Making a Will in Queensland

You can make a valid Will online in Queensland in about 15 to 20 minutes. RapidWills tailors your Will to the Succession Act 1981 (Qld), and gives you step-by-step signing instructions for Queensland.

What Queensland law says

• Wills, intestacy and family provision claims in Queensland are all governed by one Act: the Succession Act 1981.
• Getting married revokes an existing Will unless it was made in contemplation of that marriage.
• Divorce generally revokes gifts to your former spouse and their appointment as executor.
• Certain people can apply to the court if they believe your Will did not adequately provide for them.

Signing your Will in Queensland

Print your Will and sign it in ink in front of two adult witnesses who are both present at the same time. Do not ask a Beneficiary, or a Beneficiary's spouse or partner, to witness your Will: in Queensland a gift to a witness can be void. RapidWills only recommends wet-ink signing.

What happens without a Will in Queensland

If you die without a Will, your Estate is divided under the Succession Act 1981, usually to your partner and children in set shares, with no regard to your personal wishes.
