How to have a legally valid Will

For a Will to be legally valid, the testator must be over 18 (or meet specific exceptions), understand the Will’s content and consequences, and ensure it’s interpreted accurately if language barriers or cognitive conditions exist. Superannuation, insurance benefits, and jointly owned assets may not automatically become part of the estate unless explicitly structured. It’s vital to address liabilities, including Islamic debts, and seek legal advice to ensure compliance with both Islamic and legal requirements. Executors are responsible for settling all debts before distributing assets to beneficiaries.
