Wills

Everyday thousands of people die in this country and most of them leave their families with all the problems of intestacy – this means dying having left no valid will. Should the unexpected but inevitable happen, it makes sense to protect your loved ones left behind from this additional worry and stress in an already distressful time.

If you die without a will, the disposal of your estate will be subject to the law of intestacy. The procedure involved could be lengthy and could cause financial difficulty for your loved ones. Worse yet, the government gets to decide how your possessions will be distributed and your estate may end up going to people you never intended!

Making a will gives you the opportunity to plan ahead for inheritance tax purposes, which could mean more of your estate goes to your loved ones left behind. You can also get the chance to pass on particular gifts to specific friends or family and choose the friends or relatives you trust to carry out your wishes. Furthermore if you have a young family would you not want to have a say in who may look after them? Perhaps you would like to leave special instructions for your funeral. You can achieve all this by simply making a will!
