Writing your Will

Writing your Will is possibly something you’ve been putting off for years.  However, understanding the importance of making a Will and seeking advice should really be on your to-do list.

If you have a Will when was the last time you reviewed it?  A change in circumstances such as; death of a beneficiary or executor, moving home, change in financial circumstances, the birth of a grandchild, marriage or divorce, are just a few reasons why you should review your existing Will.

Essentially a Will decides how you want your estate to be distributed when you die.

Let’s look at the legal side first.

A Will is a legal expression that allows you to document your final wishes, leave specific items and distribute your estate as you see fit.

It’s all about personal choice

There is often a driving force behind planning your Will, life changing events, illness, financial circumstances or the loss of a friend or family member can all be catalysts for starting the process. There is no law to say you must have a Will, however, it really is the only way to make sure your wishes are carried out.
