Preserving your wealth for future Generations (Please read Notes) *
The vast majority of people put off making a Will for a variety of reasons, either believing that the people they would wish to inherit will automatically do so, or because they don’t think it is relevant to them at this particular time.
The reality is that you can put off making a Will until it is too late, and this poses all sorts of problems for the people left behind and could mean that some or all of your inheritance either goes to the wrong person or to the state.
Affording you peace of mind:
Firstly, and most importantly is the peace of mind making a Will provides. Making a Will enables you to plan exactly what will happen to your property (estate) if anything were to happen to you. This ensures that those you would like to benefit, actually do so, in accordance with your wishes and at the same time avoiding any possible disputes between relatives.
Who needs to make a Will?
The answer is everyone. Anyone with dependent relatives, (children under the age of 18, elderly relatives or relatives with a disability who have special needs), anyone who owns property or has any type of asset which you would wish relatives, friends or charities to benefit from.
