Many people think that a Will is only needed to decide who should inherit their money, property and possessions. However, a properly prepared Will can do much more than divide an estate.

It can make your wishes clear, help provide protection for the people closest to you and reduce uncertainty for your family at a difficult time.

Why is a Will important for family protection?

A Will allows you to clearly record who you would like to benefit from your estate. Without one, your estate may be distributed according to the intestacy rules rather than your personal wishes.

Making a Will can help you:

  • Choose who should inherit your money, property and belongings
  • Appoint trusted people to deal with your estate
  • Record guardianship wishes for children under 18
  • Make provision for a partner, family member or dependant
  • Leave specific gifts to people or charities
  • Reduce confusion and uncertainty for your loved ones

Therefore, Will writing is not simply about financial planning. It is also about giving your family greater clarity and reassurance for the future.

Making your wishes clear

Families and personal circumstances are different. For example, you may be unmarried, have children from a previous relationship or want to make particular arrangements for someone who depends on you.

A professionally prepared Will can reflect those individual circumstances and clearly record what you want to happen.

It is also important to review your Will following major life changes, such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, moving home or a significant change in your finances.
