The Public Trustee regularly holds information sessions for community organisations who would like to learn more about the Public Trustee and its services including Wills, Deceased Estates and Financial Administration.

While we would love to accommodate all requests, due to resource constraints, we are unable to help with talks for audiences smaller than 40 people. If you would like the Public Trustee to speak at your event but are unable to gather the required number of people, you may wish to consider partnering with another organisation or group who may also be interested.

Contact our Marketing and Communications Officer to discuss booking a speaker for your event.

WA Will Bank - Where's Your Will?

The WA Will Bank is a community service that safely stores Western Australian Wills in our purpose-built, fire-proof vault, keeping them safe from loss, theft and damage. It is free to store your own Will in the WA Will Bank.
