Your wish is our command!

The main reason it is vitally important to make a Will, is that it's the best way to ensure that those people you wish to inherit your estate, in fact will do so.

You may think that simply telling your family and friends what you want to happen when you pass away, will be enough to prevent any confusion or difficulties. If only it was that easy!

Without a properly drafted Will being in place, your wishes may be taken out of your hands, and instead your estate would be divided in terms of strict rules laid down by the Government.

You can decide the who's, the what's & the when's

In a Will, you could also decide when a person should inherit your estate, what to bequeath and to whom it should go.

Further to this, if you make a Will you can nominate your own 'executor', in other words the person you would trust to ingather and distribute your estate in terms of your wishes. If you do not have a Will, the Courts would appoint an executor, so the choice of who to appoint would be out of your hands.

Keeping the Government's hands off your money

On the financial side, you may be interested to know that a well planned and drafted Will could reduce your liability to Inheritance Tax (IHT) on death, producing a significant saving in your IHT liability. It makes good financial sense to make plans to reduce the amount you pay back to the Government when you die, and having a Will can help make that job a great deal less, well, taxing, if you pardon the pun!

Making a will therefore, leaves you the peace of mind to decide for yourself what should happen to your money and property. If you've not yet planned for the future, there's no time like the present!
