Have you made a Will?

Without a Will your assets may not be inherited by those people you wish to benefit. To ensure that your family are properly provided for and that you control the allocation of  your assets after your death, you need to make a Will.

A Will lets you choose the people that you wish to administer your estate and the people you wish to be responsible for looking after your children. We may even be able to help you mitigate inheritance tax.

If you have not made up your mind in respect of making gifts ofyour possessions, then there is no need to put off writing a Will.  Provision can be made for Executors to take into account any Letters of Wishes that may be found with your Will. This allows you to make any additional gifts that are not mentioned in your Will and can be freely altered over time if you change your mind (although the original current version should be left in storage with your Wills). This means that you can draft your Will and postpone the decision to leave some of the gifts you have not yet decided on. Please note that any gifts left in Letters of Wishes are at the discretion of your Executors and they cannot be compelled to make them. If you definitely want a certain gift or item to be left to a beneficiary, then there is no substitute for declaring this in the main body of your Will.
