Professional help is invaluable when preparing a Will. If a Will is not made then that can lead to confusion and difficulties for those that have to deal with the Estate following death. A properly drawn up Will is a vital part of planning for your own and family's future and everyone should make a Will whether their Estate is large or small.

Let's face it, nobody likes talking about the inevitable. It's a subject many people would rather not think about let alone plan for. There are many reasons for this:

"I'm too young"
"It's too complicated"
"It's too expensive"
"It's not really necessary"

The fact is that two out of three people in this country die intestate (without leaving a Will). This can lead to a great deal of stress for those left behind as well as leaving those people who really matter out in the cold. It's simple: -

  • You are never too young to make a Will.

    •
  • It couldn't be easier.

    •
  • It is not expensive, especially for a document that is intended to safeguard
  • the future of your loved ones.

    •
  • While not being essential in all cases, it can prove to be of vast importance and can provide peace of mind for the rest of your lives.

Why draw up a Will?

  • Safeguard your family's future.
  • Provide security for your children.
  • Reduce the tax liability on your death.

When a person dies without leaving a Will, the property which would have passed under his/her Will is distributed according to the terms of the intestacy rules. These provisions may not accord with their wishes.

When a person dies without leaving a Will, their Estate is administered by administrators who are appointed by the Court according to statutory rules. In a Will, the testator may exercise their own choice by appointing executors to administer his/her Estate and trustees to administer any trust they may create in that Will.

The Children Act 1989 provides that guardians may be appointed by Will. This is of importance for anyone who has children under the age of 18. In the absence of an express appointment, the Court will appoint guardians for the children under the age of 18 whose parents have died.

Making a Will provides an opportunity for the someone to distribute their property in such a way as to mitigate the burden of tax on death. Inheritance tax planning can save thousands of pounds in tax. We can provide expert inheritance tax planning advice.
