Why You Should Make a Will

Making a Will is the only way to ensure that your wishes are carried out after your death.

If you have not made a valid Will your property or estate may not go to who/where you may have requested. By not having a Will your beneficiaries may not be able to draw any money from your estate; which could cause arguments or distress between relatives at a time when the family should be coping with the loss of a loved one.

lf you are married, do not assume your partner will get everything. Brothers, sisters or parents may have a claim; your children may have a right to part of your estate.

lf you are living as unmarried couple you may be treated as a single person. A surviving partner may get nothing at all.

As a parent, consider who would look after your children in the event of your death. A valid Will nominates guardians in such cases. ¬ÝWithout A Will a Court could decide on the future of your children.

IF you have made a Will a long time ago it probably could need updating.

Already made a Will?

For those of you who have already made a Will a change in circumstances could make it necessary that your Will needs to be updated.

Reasons for this are:

Marriage after the date of your Will
You have another child, adopt or assume responsibility for a child
Change of name by you or anyone mentioned in your Will. (Marriage etc)
lf anybody in your Will has died or becomes unsuitable to act (age, ill -health etc)
lf you have divorced or separated since making your Will
lf there is anything you wish to revoke or alter in your current Will
