Wills

Research shows that at any one time only about one third of the adult population of England and Wales has made a Will.

Many people leave making a Will to some indefinite time in the future. Some never get round to it. Many who do are relieved finally to have specified exactly what they want to happen to their money and property in the event of their death.

Although it is never pleasant to contemplate death, once made a Will can give peace of mind. A Will can always be changed if circumstances require it, but for many people, a signed Will represents an unpleasant task completed; something which no longer has to be a cause of worry.

While a Will does not have to be prepared by a Solicitor, it is often unwise to rely on a "home-made" Will.

The use of unclear words or the failure to observe the required formalities can lead to unintended results, costly litigation and even additional Inheritance Tax having to be paid.

If you do not make a Will, the State effectively writes one for you, essentially assuming that you would want your nearest relatives to inherit your estate. This may not be what you would actually wish.

Making a Will is generally inexpensive and it can be done quickly. It can certainly save a lot of expense and disappointment for those left behind.
