What Makes a Will Legally Valid?

17/6/2025

What makes a will legally valid
​A valid will in Queensland must:
 Be in writing.
  • Be signed by the will-maker in the presence of two witnesses.
  • Be made voluntarily, without pressure or coercion.
  • Be created by someone of sound mind who understands its contents.
If a will doesn’t meet these requirements, it may be challenged in court. To ensure your will is legally sound, consult our estate lawyers.
 
You can read more frequently asked questions at our FAQ page here: https://www.arthurbrowne.com.au/faq.html

Who Pays for the Funeral When Someone Dies in Queensland?

5/6/2025

Who Pays for the Funeral When Someone Dies in Queensland?
In Queensland, funeral expenses are generally considered a priority debt of the deceased's estate. This means that the funeral expenses will likely be the first debt paid from the estate. If the deceased had a bank account solely in their name, the funeral invoice can often be presented to the bank, and they may release funds directly to the funeral director before the estate is finalised.

In cases where sufficient estate funds are not immediately available, an individual may personally cover the costs and later seek reimbursement from the estate (provided it has enough assets to cover the amount).
​
It's always advisable to retain receipts and consult with an estate lawyer to ensure the costs are appropriately reimbursed. At Arthur Browne & Associates, we can guide you through these processes with care during this difficult time.
