who needs a will?

​

Quite honestly we don’t make a will for ourselves. We make them for the important people in our lives that we leave behind. 

​

Essentially we all need a will:

 

• Single

• Married

• Living together

• About to marry

• Have children

• Home owner

• Divorced

• Business owner

• Have debts

• Recent/expected inheritance

• Have other assets

• Have pets

• Want to pass on their wealth

• Want to save tax

• Had a family fallout

​

Why make a will?

​

If you don’t make a will, you could leave a terrible legacy for those you leave behind:

​

• "Common Law" partners may not receive anything

• Minor children could be taken into Care whilst Guardians are      appointed.

• Your spouse/civil partner will not automatically inherit ALL of your Estate.

• There could be lengthy delays for your Beneficiaries

• Avoid family fallout's and disputes.

• Guarantee who gets what and when

• Dying without a will can be expensive for those left behind

• Payment of more tax than maybe necessary, leaving less to pass on to your loved ones

• Claims made by people you wouldn’t want to have any benefit

​

What happens if I don’t make a Will?

​

This is called dying Intestate. The rules of intestacy set out who will inherit and by how much if you do not leave a valid will.

​

This may not be what you would have wished and in the worst case scenarios where relatives cannot be traced, your assets will be taken by the Crown.

​

Peace of Mind

​

​Your will aims to provide a great and lasting legacy for the people you choose.

​

Making a Will enables you to plan exactly what will happen to your property (estate) when you’re not here to speak out.

​

This ensures that those you would like to benefit actually do so, in accordance with your wishes, whilst avoiding any possible and common disputes.

​

Your life, your wealth, your choice, your terms.
