stand who should make a Will, when one should be made and what should be included. In our eight-part series, we hope to shed light on commonly unknown issues relating to Wills. More than 50% of adult Australians do not have a valid Will According to research by the Western Australian Public Trustee, more than half of Australians either do not have a Will or do not have a Will which is effective on death. If you pass away without a Will, the law in the state where you live will determine who is responsible for distributing assets you own and who will receive these assets. This means that you will have
had no control over who is in charge of distributing your assets and your assets may not be received by the people that you would have chosen. Even if you have a Will, your Will may be invalid if it has not been properly completed. A Will may be invalid due to common mistakes such as not having a proper witness or deeper issues such as someone having undue influence on the content. We encourage everyone to document their wishes in a valid Will.

■ Wellington Point Seniors We have a member that at the age of 92, fell and broke her hip and was told she would never play indoor bowls again.
