About Public trustee of queensland
The Public Trustee of Queensland is a government-owned corporation that provides a range of services to the people of Queensland. Established in 1916, the Public Trustee has been serving the community for over a century and has become one of the most trusted names in estate planning, financial management, and philanthropy.
One of the key services offered by the Public Trustee is its free Will-making service. This service allows individuals to create a legally binding Will that outlines their wishes for how their assets will be distributed after they pass away. The Public Trustee's team of experienced lawyers can help guide clients through this process and ensure that their wishes are carried out as intended.
In addition to its Will-making service, the Public Trustee also offers enduring powers of attorney. This legal document allows individuals to appoint someone they trust to make decisions on their behalf if they become unable to do so themselves due to illness or injury. The Public Trustee can assist with creating an enduring power of attorney and can act as an attorney if needed.
For those who require assistance managing their finances due to incapacity or disability, the Public Trustee offers financial management services. This includes managing bank accounts, paying bills, and making investments on behalf of clients who are unable to do so themselves.
The Public Trustee also administers Queensland's unclaimed money program. This program aims to reunite lost funds with their rightful owners by holding onto unclaimed money until it can be claimed by its owner or heirs.
Finally, as trustee for some of Queensland's leading philanthropic organizations, including The Community Foundation for Australia (CFA), The Australian Communities Foundation (ACF), and The Lord Mayor's Charitable Fund (LMCF), the Public Trustee plays an important role in supporting charitable causes throughout Queensland.
Overall, whether you need help creating a Will or enduring power of attorney, require assistance managing your finances due to incapacity or disability or want support for your philanthropic endeavors, the Public Trustee of Queensland is a trusted and reliable partner that can help you achieve your goals. With over a century of experience serving the community, the Public Trustee has earned its reputation as one of Queensland's most respected institutions.
