Wills, Codicils & Testamentary Trusts

Planning for the future starts with the right documents. Whether you need a simple Will, an update through a codicil, or a testamentary trust to protect assets for your family, MMLaw provides clear, tailored advice to ensure your wishes are respected and your loved ones are cared for.

Wills

Secure your wishes, protect your loved ones.

A Will ensures your assets are distributed the way you intend and gives clarity to your family during a difficult time. We guide you through the process to make sure your wishes are clear, valid, and legally binding.

Codicils

Update your Will with confidence.

A Codicil allows you to make changes to your existing Will without having to start from scratch. MMLaw will ensure your Codicil is properly prepared and legally effective.

Trusts

Ongoing protection for your family’s future.

A Testamentary Trust is a trust created within your Will, designed to provide flexibility, protection, and tax benefits for your beneficiaries. It can help safeguard inheritances and support your loved ones long after you’re gone.

Wills

Planning for the future is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your family and assets.

Peace of mind starts with a plan.

Making a Will is one of the most important steps you can take to safeguard your future. A well-prepared Will ensures your wishes are respected and provides certainty for your loved ones at a time when they need it most.

Without a valid Will, your Estate will be distributed under strict legal rules. This can lead to unnecessary stress, disputes, and outcomes that may not reflect your intentions. Having a Will in place gives you control, clarity, and peace of mind.

Protect what matters most.

Codicils

Life changes - and your Will should too. A codicil is a simple, legally binding way to update your Will if you've only had minor changes to your circumstances. At MMLaw, we make the process clear and straigtforward.

Keep your Will up to date with ease.

Your Will should reflect your current circumstances, but unfortunately life doesn’t stand still. A codicil is a practical way to make legally binding updates to your Will without having to start over. At MMLaw, we make sure these changes are done properly, giving you peace of mind that your wishes will always stay up to date.

A codicil is a separate legal document that amends your existing Will. It allows you to make changes (big or small) while leaving the rest of your Will intact. Whether it’s updating an executor, adjusting a gift, or adding a beneficiary, a codicil ensures your Will continues to reflect your intentions.

While Codicils are ideal for straightforward updates, they’re not always the best solution. If you’ve had major life changes, such as marriage, divorce, or significant shifts in assets, it may be more appropriate to prepare a new Will. At MMLaw, we’ll discuss your situation with you and recommend the most effective option to keep your Estate plan clear and valid.

Experience a significant change in your financial situation

Want to replace an Executor or guardian for your children

Add or remove any beneficiaries

Testamentary Trusts

A Testamentary Trust can provide long-term protection for your assets, safeguard vulnerable beneficiaries, and offer flexibility in how your Estate is managed. At MMLaw, we help you plan smarter and create solutions that give your loved ones both security and peace of mind.

Smarter Estate Planning for a long-term peace of mind.

A testamentary trust can be one of the most powerful tools in Estate planning. Unlike a standard Will, which passes assets directly to beneficiaries, a testamentary trust gives you greater control over how your assets are managed and distributed.

At MMLaw, we help you use these trusts to protect your family, preserve your estate, and provide ongoing security for the people who matter most.

A Testamentary Trust is a trust created through your Will, which only comes into effect after your death. Instead of leaving assets outright to your beneficiaries, the assets are placed in the trust and managed by the trustee you appoint. This structure allows for flexibility in how and when your beneficiaries receive their inheritance, while adding an extra layer of protection.
