More than half of Australia's population haven't written a will. Here's how to get started.

Dying without a will can lead to a large portion of your assets being claimed by government agencies, as well as disputes among loved ones.

An asset can be anything you own that adds financial value, such as your home, car, possessions such as jewellery or art, and money in your bank accounts. A will forms part of what's called an 'estate plan' which protects your family and loved ones who may need access to any assets or investments you may have after you die.

If you don't have a will, the government agencies can loot up to 30-60 per cent of an estate and give it to dole seekers. So you better give to people who you want to get.
