What Is a Will?
A Will is a legally binding written statement of your wishes that comes into effect when you die. It sets out how you want your estate to be distributed, including money, property, personal possessions, and any specific gifts or donations.
A professionally drafted Will allows you to make important decisions now that could have a lasting impact on your family, friends, and chosen beneficiaries. It can also help reduce the burden of inheritance tax and make the process of administering your estate smoother for those you leave behind.
What Can a Will Include?
A properly drafted Will can do far more than simply list who inherits your assets. It can:
Specify your funeral wishes
Appoint executors to administer your estate
Nominate guardians for children under 18
Make provisions for disabled or vulnerable family members
Reduce potential inheritance tax liabilities
Avoid uncertainty and help prevent future disputes among loved ones
