Reasons why you might want to consider a Will:
1. YOU NEED TO ENSURE LOVED ONES ARE PROVIDED FOR.
Make sure your money goes where YOU want it to, without misinterpretation or conflict, by making your wishes are clear.
2. ELIMINATE THE CHANCES OF DISPUTE.
Take control, there shouldn’t be any arguments between loved ones as your wishes have been formally laid out by you.
3. PROTECTION FOR YOUR PARTNER IF YOU’RE NOT MARRIED.
Your partner doesn’t automatically have a right to inherit if you aren’t married and you don’t have a Will. A Will is the best way to safeguard their future without you.
4. DECIDE WHO TAKES CARE OF YOUR CHILDREN.
Without your wishes being expressed in a Will, that important decision could be made by a court.
5. REDUCE THE COST OF INHERITENCE TAX.
A written Will may reduce the amount of tax payable.
6. IT’S FLEXIBLE.
Your will can easily be changed in the future. As circumstances change you can change your Will to suit. Life moves on, and so can your Will.
7. PROTECT YOUR MUCH LOVED PETS.
It’s not just children you can make provision for, and who might need care if you aren’t here. A Will ensures your pet is looked after, should the worst happen.
8. SAFEGUARD YOUR HOME.
Stating what you want to happen to your home in a Will can save the risk of disputes after.
9. BE PREPARED!
Few of us are ever really ready to think about the worst happening. Taking steps now ensures that we don’t leave it too late. We never know what’s around the corner. Getting your Will sorted really can take a weight off your mind.
10. LEAVE A SUM TO CHARITY.
If there’s a cause or charity close to your heart it’s the perfect way to leave a lasting legacy that can go on to change the lives of others
