Understandably making a Will is often at the bottom of the “to do” pile, but it is one of the most important things that you can do.
A well-drafted Will can:
- ensure that your money, property and possessions are left to those who you wish to benefit
- allow you to appoint guardians of minor children
- include specific gifts of treasured possessions or gifts to charity
- detail your funeral wishes
- provide peace of mind
Making these decisions now will enable your family (and your Executors) to more easily ensure that your wishes are carried out.
If you do not have a Will your estate will pass under the rules of intestacy which may not reflect your own personal circumstances or how you wish your estate to be distributed.
