A Will is a legal document that establishes how your money and assets will be distributed after your death. Writing a Will gives you control on who will benefit from your possessions, protecting your wishes and the future of your loved ones.
Many tend to put off writing a Will for many reasons, thinking they are not old or sick enough, or simply to save money. However, life is unpredictable, so we encourage everyone to have a Will in place, regardless of their age. Making a Will can also save your family money, time and potential disagreements. It is important to remember that if you die without a Will (or “intestate”), your assets will be divided under the Governments Laws of Intestacy. This means that your assets and possessions will be distributed in accordance with Government rules and not necessarily in accordance with your wishes.
We understand that making a Will can involve extremely difficult financial decisions. Our friendly team is happy to assist with any doubts you may have in regards to making a Will. Find below our answers to some frequently asked questions.
