It's great that you've decided to make a will. Do you currently have one?

ग्राहक

छैन। म अस्ट्रेलियामा दश वर्षदेखि छु तर अहिलेसम्म इच्छापत्र बनाएको छैन। मेरो सम्पत्ति र बच्चाहरूको भविष्यको बारेमा सोच्दा चिन्ता लाग्छ।

Lawyer

English

A will is very important, especially if you have children. It outlines who gets your assets and who will be the guardian of your children if something happens to you.

ग्राहक

नेपाली

मेरो सम्पत्ति भनेको घर, सुपरान्यूएसन, र बैंक खातामा केही बचत छ।

Lawyer

English

Your home and savings would be covered by the will. However, superannuation is usually handled separately through a binding death benefit nomination with your super fund.

नेपालमा पनि सम्पत्ति छ। त्यो पनि यसमा उल्लेख गर्न सकिन्छ?

Lawyer

English

You can mention overseas assets, but they may be subject to the laws of that country. It's often better to have a separate will for overseas property.

इच्छापत्र बनाउन कति खर्च लाग्छ?

Lawyer

English

As a community legal centre, we can help you prepare a basic will for free. A private lawyer would typically charge three hundred to eight hundred dollars.

ग्राहक

ठीक छ, म तपाईंहरूकै मद्दतमा बनाउन चाहन्छु।

Lawyer

English

Great. We'll need two witnesses when you sign. Bring your ID, a list of your assets, and the full names and addresses of your beneficiaries and preferred guardian.
