Why make a Will?
You, and not the law,
decide who will inherit your estate. You can ensure that those whom you
wish to inherit do so, rather than leaving matters to chance. Why risk
relatives that you have not seen for years benefiting after your death?
There are many positive reasons for making a Will.
For example, you can:-
- Decide who will sort out your affairs by appointing your own Executors. Executors are generally trusted family members or friends, frequently in conjunction with a solicitor.
- Appoint guardians for your infant children.
- Reduce the amount of Inheritance tax liability.
- Make provision for live-in partners.
In addition to normal wills, it is possible to prepare a Living Will which specifies the kind of care you would like to have if you become unable to make decisions for yourself, for example, due to a serious accident or illness.
