WILLS
A Will Gives You Piece of Mind
A Will ensures the people and the things you care about are protected and that your wishes are followed.
Who Needs a Will?
A Will is important for almost everyone.
.
Homeowners
If you own a property, a Will helps ensure your share of the property passes according to your wishes.
Parents
A Will allows you to nominate guardians for your children should the worst happen.
Married Couples
Marriage does not automatically guarantee that every aspect of your estate will pass exactly as you intend.
Unmarried Couples
This is particularly important. Unmarried partners do not have the same legal rights as married spouses.
Savings & Possessions
Any sized estate can become complicated without clear instructions.
What does a Will do?
A Will is a legal document that sets out what should happen after you die.
It allows you to:
Decide who inherits your money, property and possessions
Appoint the people who will carry out your wishes (your executors)
Choose guardians for your children
Leave gifts to family, friends or charities
Help avoid confusion and disputes among loved ones
Ensure your wishes are clearly recorded
Without a Will, the law decides who inherits your estate, which may not reflect what you would have wanted.
What happens if you don't have a Will?
Passing away without a valid Will is known as dying intestate. When this happens, strict legal rules decide who inherits your estate.
Unmarried Partners May Receive Nothing
Even if you’ve lived together for many years, your partner may not automatically inherit from your estate.
You Cannot Choose Guardians
The court may need to become involved in decisions relating to children.
Delays and Additional Stress
Your loved ones may face additional administration and uncertainty at an already difficult time.
Assets May Not Go Where You Intended
The intestacy rules follow a legal formula rather than your personal wishes.
Common Mistakes People Make
Assuming everything automatically passes to their partner
Writing a DIY Will
Failing to update a Will
Not appointing suitable executors
Putting it off
