Do I really need a Will?
Everyone should think about making a Will. It allows you to decide who benefits from your estate after you die and helps to ensure that things run smoothly after you've gone. You can use it to look after you family, or to make provision for your friends, or even a favourite charity. Feel free to view our faqs to see how important writing a will can be.
Whether you have a few assets, or a large, complicated estate it generally makes sense to make a Will. In spite of this, almost 70% of people still die without making a Will. This leaves families with the cost, uncertainty and delay of dealing with the estate under the "rules of intestacy".
Making a Will does not need to be difficult or time-consuming, but it is important to get it right. A badly drafted or inappropriate Will can be worse than having no will at all. By using a specialist solicitor you can ensure that your situation will be considered and the appropriate advice given.
Whether you need to make provision for who will look after your young children when you die (known as "guardians") or you want to balance the interests of your children and your husband or wife, you need a Will in place.
Wills can also help with inheritance tax planning, especially if you are a business owner. Proper planning through your Will can save your family tens of thousands of pounds in inheritance tax, just by taking a few simple steps.
