The Public Trustee will be heading to Busselton next month to host a free community education talk aimed to educate people on the importance of writing Wills.
On February 18 or 19, 2020 residents are invited to the City of Busselton's Undalup Room to participate in the workshop.
The sessions will provide advice and understanding around executor duties and the deceased estate administrative process as well as other helpful information such as having an Enduring Power of Attorney and Guardianship in place and safeguarding against financial and elder abuse.
Public Trustee director Etta Palumbo major life changes such as the birth of a baby, marriage, death of a family member, medical crisis or buying a home are often triggers for writing a will.
"If someone passes away without a will, it can cause unnecessary stress for family members at an already emotional time and may result in assets being distributed against your wishes," she said.
"Writing a Will can be easy and cost-effective compared to dying interstate and we want to ensure that all West Australian's have access to information and services to help them through the process."
According to research conducted by the Public Trustee, 49 per cent of West Australians have never made a Will and a further 34 per cent of people acknowledge their Will is not up to date.
