A Will allows you to choose how your property, savings and investments will be dealt with on your death. If you do not make a Will, it is statute and not you which will direct who inherits your property, potentially excluding those you care about the most.
A Will enables you to:
- Choose people who you like and trust to carry out your wishes as set out in your Will
- Make proper provision for your spouse or partner
- Provide financial protection for your children
- Appoint guardians to look after your children’s welfare until they reach adulthood
- Provide protection and support for an individual who may have special needs
- Ensure that the tax payable on your death is no more than is necessary
We often find that clients have delayed making a Will and that there is a reluctance to give this the priority it should be given. Equally, after they have made a Will with us, we are often told by clients how pleased and relieved they are.
