The Importance of Making a Will

It’s not only elderly or wealthy people who need to make a Will. If you have children you will then want to make provisions for who should look after them if you were no longer around. You will want to choose someone you trust to make important decisions and not have someone appointed by the Court.

You might want specific items to go to someone, e.g. sentimental jewellery or other items. Who do you want to look after your pets? What kind of funeral do you want (or not want)? The list goes on.

If you are a property owner appropriate arrangements must also be made. For joint owners, without a Will, what happens if one should die? Does half the property go to the surviving partner, or does it go to the deceased’s relatives? Making a Will means you make these decisions and we can help you with this. If you are not married your partner will have no right to live in your home - a Will can rectify this by creating a trust.
