Public Trustee QLD

The Public Trustee is a socially and fiscally responsive Statutory Authority that helps to make decisions that enhance the dignity, rights, and interests of Queenslanders.

The Public Trustee provides a free will-making service for all Queenslanders - in fact we are the largest maker of Wills in the Southern Hemisphere and have provided over $38.4M in Community Services in the 2019-2020 financial year, as part of our endeavour to serve the Queensland community.

In addition to our free will-making service, we also offer to make Queenslander’s enduring powers of attorney. We provide deceased estate management including the auction and sale of property and hold unclaimed money for Queenslanders in circumstances where an organisation has lost touch with the owner of the funds.

We also help some of Queensland’s most vulnerable and are often appointed as financial administrator for people who have impaired capacity and no one else to help them manage their money.

We can also help to manage investments and trusts for beneficiaries who are either minors, or have a disability and are Trustee for many trusted philanthropic trusts and organisations, such as the Queensland Community Foundation and the Queensland Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Foundation.

As a self-funded organisation we receive no government funding, and while we are able to offer free will-making services, we charge reasonable and transparent fees and charges for all other services.

We have over 600 public service professionals working with the Queensland community across a number of locations around the state.

Reporting to the Queensland Parliament through the State’s Attorney-General, we have been serving Queenslanders since 1916 and will continue to do so as best as we possibly can.
