WHY YOU SHOULD MAKE A WILL

If you are married do not assume your spouse will get everything. Brothers and sisters or parents may have a claim. Often your children have a right to part of your estate.

If you are living as a couple but not officially married you may be treated as a single person and your partner may get nothing at all.


If you are a parent, you should consider who would look after your children in the event of your death. This is particularly important in the case of one-parent families or unmarried parents living together.

A valid Will nominating guardians is invaluable. If no one knows what you would have wanted, the Court will decide on the future of your children and it may not be what you would have wished.

If you are retired maybe you made your Will some time ago. It probably needs updating to include additional grandchildren or deletion of persons you no longer feel you wish to leave anything too.

You may wish to prevent a certain relative from receiving some of your estate. You can only do this through a Will.

    DON'T BE AFRAID TO MAKE YOUR WILL

For some people, the idea of making a Will makes them feel morbid so they shut it out of their minds and think about something else.

While such a view is perfectly understandable it is misguided.

If you don't make a Will, one thing you can be sure of - there will be arguments, distress and unnecessary expense for relatives at the worst possible time.

Making a Will lets your loved ones know you cared enough to sort things out in advance.

    DON'T PUT IT OFF ANY LONGER

Every day hundreds of people die in this country leaving their families with all the avoidable problems of Intestacy - this means dying without a Will.

If you have not made a legally valid Will, the State will distribute your possessions according to the Law of Intestacy. This may not be what you would have wished.
