A lasting legacy begins with a simple first step.
What Is a Will?
Simply put, a Will is a legal document which provides instructions on what should happen to your assets (this includes your bank account, your home, your investments and even your personal belongings) when you die. Collectively referred to as your estate.
Your Will allows you to choose the people who will inherit from your estate (your beneficiaries) as well as who should carry out your wishes after you die. These are your executors, and it will be their responsibility to ensure that your estate is legally administered and in accordance with your Will. You can also appoint guardians in your Will to look after your children or nominate people to look after your pets, for example.
Why Should I Make a Will?
Making a will is one of the most important decisions you can make to safeguard your family’s future. It’s not just about deciding who inherits your assets; it’s about providing clarity and reducing stress for your loved ones during an already emotional time. Yet, many people delay this vital task, often leaving their families to navigate unnecessary complications.

Do I Need a Will?
Everyone over the age of 18 should have a Will in place. If you die without a valid Will, the rules of intestacy will apply, and your assets will be distributed without any reference to what you may have wanted or even not have wanted.
These rules are very strict and are not geared up for modern-day life; they do not take into account any unmarried relationships or stepfamilies, for example. Even if you are married, this does not necessarily mean that your surviving spouse will automatically inherit everything from you, so it is important that you ensure that your wishes are properly documented.
What Happens If I Don’t Have a Will When I Die?
If you pass away without a valid Will, your estate will be distributed according to intestacy laws. These laws prioritise spouses, civil partners, children, and other close family members, but may not account for individuals or causes important to you. This can result in delays, legal complications, and disagreements among your loved ones, highlighting the importance of having a Will to ensure your wishes are respected. Find out more here.
Can I write my Will myself?
Writing your own will can be risky, especially if you are not familiar with the legal requirements and formalities that must be followed to make a will valid and enforceable. While it is legally possible to write your own will, it is generally recommended to seek the assistance of a qualified Estate Planner.
