Understanding Will Rights Victoria
Summary
In Victoria, a will remains private until the will-maker passes away. If someone is concerned about their inclusion in a will, they should consider discussing their concerns directly with the will-maker or seeking legal advice. Community legal centers can provide confidential support and guidance. Wills are not registered publicly while the will-maker is alive, and the existence of a will is typically known only to the will-maker and possibly the executor. If trust issues arise, it may be beneficial to seek advice from a community legal service for further assistance.Full Conversation
