Making a Will

Making a Will is one of the most important things that you can do. It not only ensures to the best of your ability that your wishes with regard to the distribution of your estate are carried out properly, but also enables you to make the best provision for your family and friends.

Although successive governments have laid down provisions for what will happen to your estate in the event of you dying without a Will, these provisions inevitably are unlikely to be exactly the same as your wishes.

By making a Will you may:
• appoint the Executors who administer your estate
• choose the people who will inherit your estate
• decide the age at which younger beneficiaries will inherit
• appoint the Guardians who will bring up your children
• consider tax mitigation; and
• include wider administrative powers to assist your Executors

Despite popular belief, if you die without a Will it is unlikely that your estate would pass to the state, however it is quite possible that only part of your estate will pass to your husband or wife.

Do you know the effect of the legislation on your estate if you were to die? If you do not, and you would like further advice please complete and return to us the Will Questionnaire. Or telephone us and ask to speak to Nick Pinks or Judith Humphreys. The cost of making a Will may be less than you imagine, and you will have the satisfaction of making the best provision possible for your family.
