Whether you are 18 or 80, married, single, divorced, living with a partner, have children or none at all… You know you need a Will and here are just some of the many reasons why;

• Under the law of England & Wales your spouse does not automatically inherit everything
• The Courts may appoint a guardian for your children because you didn’t write a Will so by making a will you are choosing the guardians for any children you have who are under 18
• If you are not married to your partner then he or she will not be entitled to anything at all
• A family can suffer acute financial hardship because there was no Will written
• Complicated rules exist which means if a person dies without a Will then they have no control over who will inherit what they own. Dying intestate, means that who inherits what depends on which of your relatives is alive at your death and how large your estate is.

In simple terms a Will can be described as “an individual’s legal declaration of how they want their property to be dealt with after their death”. There are many reasons why it makes sense to make a will. Call, email an enquiry, chat live on-line with our team or pop into our offices for real guidance on putting the right arrangements in place.
