Why make a will?
Although most people consider having a Will, they are unaware of the outcome of dying intestate (without a Will).
If you die without a Will the laws of intestacy will govern how your estate is distributed.
This is unlikely to reflect how you would wish your money and possessions to be allocated.
It will take longer for your affairs to be administered and it will cost more.
Having a Will is not just about ensuring that all your possessions go where you want or that your family is looked after. With the laws changing all the time regarding Inheritance Tax (IHT), more people than ever fall into the IHT bracket.
Along with the surge in property values over the years, homeowners will pay billions in increased Inheritance Tax to the government.
Making a Will ensures that you are in control of what happens to your property and family.
We find that once it has been completed, instead of feeling dread and unease, people feel a great sense of relief that everything will be handled as they wish.
