Making a Will

A will is a legal document that ensures that when you die, what you leave (after paying tax and debts) is distributed in accordance with your wishes. Even though you may feel that you do not have a great deal to leave, a will ensures that your personal belongings go to the individuals you choose. A will can also minimise tax liabilities for your estate.

Preparing a will can also ensure you address any special circumstances, such as a disabled child, step-children, cohabitees and same sex partners, for example. Making a will means that you are in charge and you will be able to arrange your affairs as you would like.

If you do not have a will in place then upon your death the intestacy rules will apply instead. These are specific legal rules relating to the distribution of your estate. They can result in your assets being passed on to individuals who you would not wish to benefit.

Anyone over the age of 18 can make a Will. If you don't make a Will, the money intended for loved ones could end up in the Government's coffers.

Making a Will can seem like a daunting task but in fact it's very quick and easy and a Will can be drawn up for as little as £100.

Drawing up a Will provides real peace of mind and ensures your loved ones are provided for and do not have additional stress at a very difficult time for them.
