You may have overheard from someone in your life that they are writing a Will and might be wondering if you should follow suit. Before taking this step, understanding why Wills are important can help you make more informed decisions. Here is a breakdown of everything you need to know to decide whether this is a suitable next step:
Implications of Not Having a Will
Wills state how your estate will be distributed after you pass away. Writing one gives you a chance to decide the details for yourself, instead of the state deciding for you. Not having a Will can lead to a delay in assets being distributed and can lead to distress between the family.
Ensuing a Will is Legally Valid
To guarantee that your wishes are honoured, ensuring your Will is legally valid is extremely important. An experienced solicitor can help draft the Will and complete due diligence to ensure it encompasses everything it needs to be classed as legal.
