With almost half of NSW's adult population without a Will, the Public Trustee NSW is encouraging newlyweds to openly discuss their wishes for each other, should either pass away unexpectedly.

If you die without a Will, your estate will be divided up based on a government formula - and your loved ones may not receive what you wish.

During the Public Trustee's Good Will Week in mid-October 2007, newlyweds can get free advice on writing Wills.

And with almost $8 million going to the NSW government coffers every 12 months from unclaimed estates, it is important to ensure that your current Will is kept up to date so that your nearest and dearest can be located.
