Nobody wants to envisage a time when they are no longer here and for this reason many people put off making a Will. Research has shown that an astonishing number of people in the UK die intestate each year- that is they die without having made a Will.

All too often relatives and dependants are left vulnerable, unprepared and totally at the mercy of the Rules of Intestacy. If you die intestate, your estate may pass to beneficiaries that you would not have chosen yourself. Decisions about your money and property will be made by individuals wholly unconnected with your family and unaware of your particular wishes. Intestacy may also lead to costly and complex legal disputes.The Rules of Intestacy make no provision for loved ones unrelated by blood or marriage.

No matter how small or large your estate, a professionally drafted Will can:

  • Ensure that your assets pass to your chosen beneficiaries
  • Provide for children from a previous relationship while providing for a current spouse or partner
  • Be used to limit inheritance tax liabilities and preserve assets for future generations

Given the possible advantages it is imperative that any Will is drafted with the care and attention to detail that an experienced professional can provide.

Whilst making a Will it may also be appropriate to consider making a Lasting Power of Attorney so that your affairs can be dealt with by a trusted confidante should you ever lack mental or physical capacity to act on your own behalf.
