Season 2 Ep. 32 What Happens to Your Will When You Get Married?

In this week’s episode, the focus turns to how marriage can unexpectedly impact your estate plan. Many people are unaware that in Queensland—and most other Australian jurisdictions—getting married automatically revokes an existing Will, unless that Will was made in contemplation of the marriage. This legal reality can create significant unintended consequences, particularly for those entering a second marriage or blended family situation. Lidia Vicca explains why it’s essential to update your estate plan as part of your wedding checklist and discusses what happens if you die without a valid Will after marriage. This episode provides a clear and practical overview of how to safeguard your legacy, ensure your loved ones are protected, and avoid costly legal disputes arising from an outdated Will.
