Don't Leave Making a Will Until it's too Late!

By making a will you can decide what happens to your property and possessions after your death. Although there is no need to make a wil under the law, it is the best way to make sure your estate is passed on to family, friends and loved ones as you wish. If you die without making a will (intestate), your assets may be distributed according to the law rather than your wishes and your family may be subject to large inheritance tax bills.

The Importance of Making a Will

A will sets out who is to benefit from your property and possessions (your estate) after your death. There are many good reasons to make a will:

• you can decide how your assets are shared - if you don't have a will, the law says who gets what
• if you're an unmarried couple (whether or not it's a same-sex relationship), you can make sure your partner is provided for
• if you're divorced, you can decide whether to leave anything to your former partner
• you can make sure you don't pay more Inheritance Tax than necessary
