Making a Will
Making a Will is something that everyone means to get round to one day, but keeps putting off. The trouble is, no-one likes to think about death, particularly their own. It is a subject which we usually try to put to the back of our minds. However, there are numerous benefits in writing a Will, which relate not only to who should inherit your estate. For example, you may also:
- Choose the Guardians for your children.
- Appoint Executors to deal with your estate.
- State your funeral wishes.
- Attach conditions to any gifts you may wish to make.
- Control the age at which a minor beneficiary may inherit.
- Make special provision for vulnerable beneficiaries.
- Avoid family disputes.
Surveys have shown that only around 25 per cent of the population leave a Will when they die. This often results in a lot of confusion, distress and sometimes financial hardship for the deceased person’s family.
