Wills & Estate Planning Lawyers in the Redlands: Protecting Your Future with Care
When it comes to planning your future, working with Wills & Estate Planning Lawyers in the Redlands isn’t just good sense—it’s peace of mind for you and your loved ones.
At Milana Law, we offer personalised wills and estate planning services that ensure your wishes are clear, legally valid, and tailored to your personal situation. We provide support with wills, estate planning, testamentary trusts, powers of attorney, estate administration, and advanced health directives—all with fixed fees for transparency and certainty.
Why Wills & Estate Planning Matter
Your will is the foundation of a solid estate plan. It makes sure your assets are passed on according to your wishes, helps prevent family disagreements, and gives your loved ones peace of mind. If you don’t have a will, the Queensland Succession Act 1981 decides who inherits — and that may not reflect what you would have wanted.
Briefing our Wills & Estate Planning Lawyers in the Redlands gives you confidence that your assets are protected, your wishes respected, and the people you care about supported when it matters most.

Frequently Asked Questions – Wills in Queensland
1. What happens if I die without a will in Queensland?
If you die without a will, your estate is distributed under the Succession Act 1981 (Qld). This intestacy process follows strict rules and may not reflect your wishes.
2. What is probate and do I need it?
Probate is a Supreme Court of Queensland order confirming that a will is valid and authorising the executor to administer the estate. It’s often required to access bank accounts, transfer property, or deal with superannuation.
3. Can I appoint more than one attorney?
Yes. You can appoint separate attorneys for financial and health matters. You can also appoint multiple attorneys and specify whether they act jointly or independently.
4. How should I store my will?
Your will should be stored securely, and your executor should know where to find it. Many people choose to keep wills with their solicitor or with the Queensland Public Trustee for safekeeping.
5. Can I exclude someone from my will?
You can, but excluded family members may be able to contest the will under family provision laws. To reduce risks, we provide advice on structuring your estate plan and including explanatory notes.
6. When should I update my will?
Anytime your circumstances change—such as marriage, divorce, having children, buying property, or retirement—you should review and update your will.
7. Does a will have to be witnessed?
Yes. In Queensland, a will must be signed by the testator in front of two witnesses. In some cases, courts may accept an informal will, but this adds complexity and risk.
