Making a will is very important to ease the burden on family and friends left behind you. It also lets you decide who benefits when you die. If you die without a will, the law of intestacy will determine who's entitled to your estate - which may not be who you want. So we would strongly encourage you to ensure that you make a will and you should not feel intimidated by the process.
We can prepare your will for you and provide specialist advice on estate planning - how to dispose of your assets in the most tax efficient manner in order to reduce or prevent inheritance tax being payable on your death.
When you give us instructions for your will it is helpful if you can provide us with:
a) Approximate details of your assets to include life policies and pensions payable on death.
b) Details of any bequests to include specific sums of money or assets and details of the main beneficiaries to your will and substitute beneficiaries, should one of your beneficiaries die before you.
c) Names and addresses of two people able and wiling to act as executors and trustees if any beneficiciary is under the age of 18 years.
