Making a Will gives you control over what happens to everything you have amassed during your lifetime and will help to protect your family and friends.
If you do not make a Will you will die intestate and strict legal rules apply to decide how your property is distributed.
Your husband or wife are limited by Statute as to how much they can receive under the Intestacy Rules. If you are not married Intestacy Rules do not apply.
By making a Will you can incorporate tax planning, avoid disputes, protect relatives and friends and address the following matters:-
- Your funeral wishes
- Choose your executors
- Make gifts of personal belongings
- Make monetary gifts
- Create Trusts
- Inheritance tax planning.
Making a Will can be a simple way of looking after the people who are important to you.
If you have already made a Will it should be updated from time to time as circumstances change over the years.
