Everyone knows what a Will is - most
people agree that they need one but not everyone knows why they should
make one without delay.
Many assume, quite wrongly, that all their property will automatically pass to their spouse.
If you don't make a Will then on your death you will
have died intestate. This can be as painful as it sounds for your loved
ones who may suffer financial hardship and distress at a time when they
least need it, whilst your affairs are sorted out.
If you do make a
Will then the legal process in dealing with your affairs will be easier,
and much less painful at a time when your loved ones will need all the
help that they can get.
If you don't make a Will then you will have no
control over who will inherit what you own. On an intestacy who inherits
what depends on which of your relatives is alive at your death and how
large your estate is. Spouses may not receive everything and unmarried
partners will definitely receive nothing.
If you do make a Will then you can name the
beneficiaries (including charities and friends if you so wish) and you
will know with certainty who will inherit from your efforts.
If you don't make a Will and you are a parent of
young children then you will have no control over who looks after them
should anything happen to you. In such circumstances, the courts will
appoint someone on your behalf - someone that you may not have chosen.
If you do make a Will then you can appoint guardians
of your choice who will look after your children until they reach the age
of eighteen.
If you don't make a Will then your estate may have to
pay a charge of inheritance tax.
If you do make a Will you can distribute your assets
in such a way that any Inheritance Tax charge is minimised or even removed
altogether.
If you don't make a Will then your family may have to
employ professionals to sort out the mess that you leave behind. Their
charges could mean that they become significant beneficiaries of your
estate.
If you do make a Will your family will have clear
directions on how to deal with your affairs and may not need to employ
(and pay) professionals.
Making a Will is not painful or
life-threatening
It does not require you to list all your
possessions
It is never too early, but all too often left too
late.
