Why Make A Will?

The majority of us have worked hard all our lives to acquire what we needed to live the lives we wanted to, like a house. Some of us have saved to help our families, maybe with a foot up on the property ladder. Without a properly prepared will, things can go wrong, your wishes may become irrelevant!

Why Make a Will?

Common sense tells us that we need a Will, but why is it so important?

‘Do Not’ die intestate.
Making a Will is the only way you can be sure what will happen to your property and possessions after your death.
If you have a Wife or Husband, especially young children or dependents, it is the best way of making absolutely sure they are provided for. An up to date Will, making your intentions clear makes it much easier for your Executors to administer your estate.
If you die without making a Will – known as ‘Intestate’ – you have no control over who inherits your estate, in turn the Law will decide the outcome.
As you can see, from the ‘Intestacy Rules Chart’ dying without a will can cause many problems as you have no control over who inherits your estate. A correctly written Will allows YOU to decide on the following key benefits below:
