Your Will is an important legal document, but it can't capture everything your children need to know about you. A Letter of Wishes gives you a place to record your parenting guidance, family values, routines, hopes, stories, and messages for the people caring for your children if you die.

If you have young children, one of the biggest questions in your estate plan is who you would trust to care for them if you die. Learn how a testamentary guardian appointment works in Queensland, what to consider when choosing one, and how your Letter of Wishes can give your children's future carers the guidance they need.

Who will manage your child’s inheritance if you die while they’re still young? Choosing the right person to manage your child’s inheritance is an important part of estate planning. We explain what a trustee does, what happens to a child’s inheritance under a standard Will, and how a testamentary discretionary trust can provide greater flexibility and protection.
