Writing a will is something that we often think about and remind ourselves that we really ought to get round to, but never actually do.

Although this is completely understandable and we don’t like to think about what would happen if we were not here, many of us don’t realise the severe consequences for those you leave behind if your will and estate is not in order.

The correct Will can allow you to : 

  • Specify whom you with to inherit your estate, in what order and in what proportions so that you have comfort in the knowledge that your wishes will be carried out.
  • Make specific legacies to family or friends or gifts to your favorite charities.
  • Appoint suitable guardians for young children rather than leaving the decision to the courts.
  • Set up maintenance trusts for children to protect their inheritances until and age specified by you.
  • Ensure the inheritance of your children or other beneficiaries should the survivor re-marry.
  • Protect your share of the property from having to be sold to pay for the survivors future care fees, thus still having assets to leave to your family.
  • Avoid paying 40% Inheritance Tax on your estate, so giving more to your chosen beneficiaries rather than the Government.
