Why do I need a Will?
It is important to make a Will because, if you die without one, the rules of intestacy determine how your money, property and possessions are distributed. This may not reflect your wishes and can sometimes cause unnecessary uncertainty or family disputes.
Making a Will allows you to clearly set out whom you would like to inherit from your estate and how you would like your affairs to be dealt with. Lasting Wishes can support you with your Will writing and estate planning needs, helping you put the appropriate protection in place for you and your loved ones.
Protection for your children
If you have children under the age of 18, your Will can appoint legal guardians to care for them if you die while they are still minors. Your Will can also help protect their inheritance and clearly set out how and when you would like them to benefit from your estate.
Funeral plans and final wishes
Your Will can record your funeral wishes, such as whether you would prefer burial or cremation, helping your loved ones understand what you would have wanted and reducing uncertainty at a difficult time.
Property owner
If you own a property, your Will can specify who you would like to inherit your property or who may be entitled to live there after your death.
Depending on your circumstances, estate planning and certain types of Property Trust Wills may also help protect your share of a property for your chosen beneficiaries.
Vulnerable Descendants
If a child, grandchild or other beneficiary is vulnerable, has a disability or may require ongoing support, careful Will and Trust planning can help protect their inheritance.
A Vulnerable Person’s Trust or other suitable Trust arrangement may help provide financial protection while taking into consideration the beneficiary’s individual circumstances and any means-tested support they may receive.
Marriage or Civil Partnership
Marriage or entering into a civil partnership can significantly affect your estate planning and an existing Will. It is important to review your Will to ensure it remains valid and continues to reflect your wishes.
Partner
If you live with a partner and you are not married or in a civil partnership, your partner does not automatically have the same inheritance rights as a spouse or civil partner.
Making a Will allows you to clearly state what you would like your partner to inherit from your estate.
