WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO MAKE A WILL ?

• Having a Will in place ensures that the people you choose benefit from your estate
• You can decide who will be the guardians to look after your children
• You can set up Trusts to benefit your children later in life
• If you have a business you can put succession plans in place
• You choose who takes care of the administration of your estate
• You can ensure an unmarried partner benefits from your estate
• You can reduce the amount of Inheritance Tax that may otherwise be due

WITH NO WILL IN PLACE ?

• The law determines what happens to your assets
• You have no control over who takes care of your children
• If you are not married your partner may not benefit from your estate

Many people think they do not have enough assets to make a Will or they are too young. This is not true. It is important to have a Will to make sure that your wishes are met after your death. It is important that those you love benefit from your estate. 

It is important to amend your Will after life changing events such as births, deaths, marriages and house purchases amongst other things.
