Will Writing

A will is a legal document that sets out what should happen to your money, property, and possessions after you die. It allows you to record your wishes clearly and in writing, giving certainty and reassurance to the people you leave behind.

Having a valid will in place means that your wishes are known and can be followed, rather than decisions being left to chance or uncertainty.

• A properly drafted will allows you to:
• Decide who inherits your estate and in what shares
• Appoint executors to deal with your affairs
• Make provisions for family, friends or charities
• Set out funeral wishes (if you choose)
• Helps reduce stress, delay and potential disputes for your loved ones.

If you pass away without a valid will, your estate is distributed according to intestacy rules and unmarried partners or stepchildren may receive nothing.
