Why do I need a Will?
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 can 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.
There are many good reasons why you should make a Will
Your spouse / civil partner may not automatically inherit ALL of your estate
Common-law partners may be granted no benefits at all
Taking minors into care until the guardians are appointed
Delays for disputes and beneficiaries
There are specific rules of intestacy which set out who will inherit and by how much, if you do not leave a valid Will. This may not be what you would have wished and in worse case scenarios, family can be disinherited or where relatives cannot be traced, your assets will eventually be taken by the Crown.
All of these issues can be avoided by writing a simple Will, ensuring that those you would like to benefit actually do so, in accordance with your wishes.
