Making a Will gives you the opportunity of ordering your affairs for after your death. We all have a natural reluctance to contemplate our own death, but it is the one thing in life that is guaranteed. If you don’t leave a Will then the law will step in and a rigid set of rules, known as the Intestacy Rules, will dictate what happens to your property and your money.

​

By making a Will you can control how your property and affairs will be dealt with. It will ensure that your wishes are properly taken into consideration and it will make life much easier for those you leave behind.

​

If you die without a valid will, you have no say in what happens to your estate. Instead, the rules of intestacy will divide your estate in a predetermined way amongst specific members of your family and this may not be to people who you wished to benefit. Furthermore, the intestacy rules may not produce the most tax-efficient way of distributing your estate.
