Why make a Will?
Life is for living and contemplating the lives of loved ones after your days is not an easy thing for anyone to have to face. Not wishing to deal with the issue will not stop it becoming a possible reality in the future.
So, why should you make a Will?
- Making a Will and thinking about your assets today is one positive way to protect yourself and your family in the event of unexpected death.
- Dying without making a Will is known as dying intestate. In such cases, control over how assets are divided is limited following your death.
- Just because you may live with someone does not confer on that person the same rights as a married spouse or civil partner when it comes to any inheritance, unless mentioned specifically in a Will.
- Making a Will is the only way to ensure that your money and possessions go to the people you choose.
- Without a Will, your surviving spouse does not necessarily inherit the whole of your estate.
- In your Will you can choose who will administer your estate after your death.
- In your Will you can appoint guardians to look after your children.
- In your Will you can make gifts to persons who would not benefit under the Intestacy Rules.
- You will be able to reduce your Inheritance Tax burden and save up to £125,000 from the taxman.
- Administering an estate after death is easier where a Will has been made.
- You will be able to make directions with regard to burial or cremation or donation of body parts for medical purposes.
- You will be able to make arrangements to protect and provide for vulnerable persons.
