The Whys and Woes of Making a Will - NSW Trustee and Guardian June 2023

Your Will is an important legal document outlining your wishes for when you pass away. It details: 

• who you want to receive your assets 
• who you want to receive specific personal and heirloom items 
• any religious or cultural arrangements for your funeral 
• who you want as a legal guardian for any children under 18 years 
• who you choose to be your executor when you pass away. 

As an Aboriginal person, you may have culturally sensitive requirements to document in your Will. These may include how to provide for:  

• kinship 
• burial 
• secret knowledge.
