✅ 维州遗嘱怎样才有效｜What Makes a Victorian Will Valid

维州遗嘱的形式要求规定在《1997 年遗嘱法》（Wills Act 1997 (Vic)）里。
The formal requirements for a Victorian will are set out in the Wills Act 1997 (Vic).

要求 Requirement	说明 Explanation
书面 In writing	遗嘱必须是书面文件 The will must be in writing
本人签署 Signed	由立遗嘱人签署，或在其指示下由他人代签 Signed by the will-maker, or by someone at their direction
两名证人 Two witnesses	两名证人同时在场见证签署 Two witnesses present at the same time
行为能力 Capacity	立遗嘱时理解自己在做什么 The will-maker must understand what they are doing

💻 维州自 2021 年起允许通过视频远程见证遗嘱（remote execution procedure），但需要一名”特别证人”，所有参与者都要在维州境内，并在同一天完成。
Since 2021 Victoria has allowed wills to be witnessed by audio-visual link, but a special witness is required, everyone must be in Victoria, and it must be completed on the same day.

详细规定见 维州司法部 的说明。给年迈父母办遗嘱时要特别注意行为能力和不当影响的问题，见我们的文章：给父母办遗嘱，子女陪同会让遗嘱被推翻吗。
See the Victorian Department of Justice for details. Capacity and undue influence need extra care when parents make wills — read our article on this.

🔄 哪些事会让遗嘱失效｜Life Events That Change Your Will

事件 Event	对遗嘱的影响 Effect on your will (Victoria)
结婚 Marriage	原遗嘱一般失效，除非是为这段婚姻预先订立 Generally revokes an existing will unless made in contemplation of that marriage
离婚 Divorce	撤销给前配偶的赠与和委任 Revokes gifts to and appointments of the former spouse
分居 Separation	不会自动改变遗嘱 Does not automatically change the will
新生子女、买卖房产 New children, property changes	不会自动更新，需要检查 Not updated automatically — review needed

分居后遗嘱里还写着前任，是很常见的风险，见 分居了，遗嘱还留着前任？
Leaving an ex in your will after separation is a common risk — see our article.

🏦 Super 不归遗嘱管｜Your Will Does Not Control Your Super

Super 养老金由基金按信托规则支付，一般不自动进入遗产。
Superannuation is paid by the fund under its trust rules and does not automatically form part of your estate.

如果想确定 Super 给谁，需要向基金做有效的受益人指定，并按时更新。
To control who receives your super, make a valid beneficiary nomination with your fund and keep it current.

🩺 持久授权书和医疗代理人｜Enduring Powers of Attorney

遗嘱只在身后生效；如果生前失去决策能力，需要靠持久授权书和医疗决定代理人。
A will only works after death; if you lose capacity during life, you need an enduring power of attorney and a medical treatment decision maker.

• 持久授权书（财务和个人事务）依据维州《2014 年授权法》。
  Enduring powers of attorney (financial and personal) are made under the Powers of Attorney Act 2014 (Vic).
• 医疗决定代理人依据维州《2016 年医疗治疗规划与决定法》。
  Medical treatment decision makers are appointed under the Medical Treatment Planning and Decisions Act 2016 (Vic).

🏛️ 遗产认证和遗嘱争议｜Probate and Will Disputes

有遗嘱的，执行人一般需要向维州最高法院申请遗产认证（Probate）后才能处理房产和银行资产。
Where there is a will, the executor usually needs a grant of probate from the Supreme Court of Victoria before dealing with property and bank assets.

觉得遗嘱没有给自己足够照顾的”合资格人士”，可以提出 Family Provision 申请。
An eligible person who believes the will did not make adequate provision for them can bring a family provision claim.

⏰ 维州的 Family Provision 申请一般要在遗产认证或遗产管理书批出后 6 个月内提出，逾期需要法院许可，遗产分完后很难再追。
In Victoria a family provision claim must generally be made within 6 months of the grant of probate or letters of administration; late claims need court leave and are very difficult once the estate is distributed.
