On todays National Talk Black via NIRS – National Indigenous Radio Service we have:Amanda MacDougall, Queensland Public Trustee Executive Director of Customer Service, talking about Wills Week 2026. A Will helps make sure your wishes are known and the people you care about are looked after when you die. Everyone over the age of 18 years can and should have a Will in place. Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islander people in Queensland are being encouraged to protect their loved ones from preventable stress by making a Will during Wills Week 2026 (7-13 September). How to make a valid Will: Go to Wills Week 2026 on QPT’s website for information about making and updating a Will. To make a Will, find a local solicitor on Queensland Law Society’s You & the Law website. Alternatively, QPT makes simple Wills at no cost. Appointments can be booked on QPT’s website.
