Wills & Estates: Points to Ponder – Part 1 Why Make a Will?
Understandably making a Will is often at the bottom of the “to do” pile, but it is one of the most important things that you can do.
A well-drafted Will can:
ensure that your money, property and possessions are left to those who you wish to benefit
allow you to appoint guardians of minor children
include specific gifts of treasured possessions or gifts to charity
detail your funeral wishes
provide peace of mind
Making these decisions now will enable your family (and your Executors) to more easily ensure that your wishes are carried out.
If you do not have a Will your estate will pass under the rules of intestacy which may not reflect your own personal circumstances or how you wish your estate to be distributed.
