Making a Will

Why make a Will?

Making a Will

If you don’t have a Will the Government decides who inherits your possessions, property and money, according to the Laws of Intestacy. By having a Will you stipulate exactly how your estate (all your possessions and assets) is distributed and in what proportions. A professionally drafted Will can also significantly reduce or even eradicate your inheritance tax bill, meaning there could be much more money to pass to those you wish to benefit. Importantly, you can also avoid funds being seized by local authorities should a partner require long term care.

Having a Will can make the most difficult time for your loved ones that little bit easier. You may have quite specific ideas about what you would like to happen when you die. First and foremost, do you wish to be buried or cremated? Where do you want your funeral to be held? Including these items in your Will ensures that your family and friends are able to carry out your exact wishes at such a time when it would be difficult to make decisions.
