Why should you make your will?
Your will protects. It protects your children, your property, and your family. If protecting your children, your family, and your property is important to you then you should make a will.
Professionals - such as solicitors, financial advisers and accountants - will tell
you that making your will is one of the most important documents you can make.
To read how your will specifically ‘protects’ your family, children, and property please request our FREE ‘Guide to Making Your Will’.
What is a will?
Your will is a written, legal, document that sets out what should happen on your death, who has responsibility to ensure it does, and what powers those people have to undertake the role and duties.
What would happen if you die without having made a valid will?
When a person dies their estate has be sorted out and distributed. If the deceased failed to make a valid will then their estate will be distributed in accordance with the Rules of Intestacy. These rules are fixed; they state exactly who is to be benefit from your estate at the time of your death, and they stipulate who is to sort out the deceased’s affairs and what powers they have.
In our experience very few people find the Rules of Intestacy meet their needs. A common outcome is that unexpected relatives benefit from the estate. In certain [comparatively rare] circumstances this can include all your estate going to the Crown.
Can you make your own will?
In England and Wales you can make your own will. Indeed, if your wishes are simple then this should be considered. Our FREE ‘Guide to Making Your Will’ will help you check that such a course of action is appropriate for you.
What benefits do the services of a professional Will-
A professional will writer:
- should save you time on research;
- give you peace of mind concerning the phrases and clauses included in your will;
- be able to defend your will from accusations of undue influence or ‘lack of mental capacity’;
- will guide you in connection with the Inheritance (Provision for Families and Dependants Act) 1975;
- should explore aspects not covered in most library books and ‘Make Your Own Will’ packs; and
- should produce a will that meets your needs -
whether those needs be simple or complex.
