If you die without a will you have no guarantee who will look after your children or that your possessions will go to who you want
This will be decided by the Intestacy Rules which may not be what you would like
A Will makes it easier for your family after you have passed as this small act will:
Provide for your loved ones in a way you want
Reduce any family disputes as Grief, Greed and Money make for an emotional cauldron even in the closest families
Protect your partner if you are unmarried or not in a civil partnership as unfortunately the is no law covering “common law”
Appoint Guardians for your children, this means you don’t have the worry that the Courts will decide who brings them up
Reduce the amount of Inheritance Tax that may be due if advice is taken sooner rather than later
Safeguard your family home and arranging who can live there or inherit it
Can protect your pets so you know who will look after them when you can’t
Make sure that no what happens you are prepared reassuring you family and friends that your affairs are in order
