Your Will is probably the most important document you will ever have written for you!

We admit that this is a bold statement; why is this?

In a nutshell, if you hadn't made a will, then the Government has written one for you; it's called the law of intestacy…but its effects might not be what you expect. If you die without making a will then at least one of the following will apply to you:

Five compelling reasons you need a Will

It is a common misapprehension that husbands and wives are entitled to everything from each other. They are not. For a married couple, when one dies, the survivor may not inherit everything, possibly including the family home.
If you are partners and don't have Wills, apart from jointly owned assets, members of your own family will inherit your personal assets - NOT your partner. Instead, the law dictates a strict hierarchy within your own family as to who will inherit.
Appointing a legal guardian is one of the most important parts of a will for those with children under the age of eighteen. If you don't have a Will then Social Services could become involved and may need to appoint a legal guardian for you in your absence.
More and more ordinary people are at risk from paying inheritance tax on their death: money which won't go to their loved ones. This can be minimised or even eliminated through certain types of wills, written by a specialist Will writer.
If there is someone who you don't wish to receive an inheritance from you then without a Will and access to specialist advice you might not be able to prevent them from gaining an inheritance.
