Rotary Club of Ballarat

Springfest 2022 Launch 29/09/22 Gallery

Thanks to Geoff Leslie we were fortunate to have Peta Maskell, Senior Associate from BJT Legal address the club on the important matter of estate planning. Peta presented an engaging talk in which she not only outlined the 'nuts and bolts' of the key areas of estate planning, but also drew our attention to common misconceptions and pitfalls in relation to estate planning.
Some of the key issues addressed by Peta included:
- Enduring Power of Attorney
- Medical Treatment Decision Makers
- Advanced Care Directive
- The need to make a will including the potential to reduce the chance of a claim being made against your estate, matters relating to joint proprietor- ship, wills in marriage and divorce, and what hap- pens if you die without a will.
