Will Writing
A Will is a legal document that sets out how you want your estate dealt with when you die. Do you know that if you don’t have a Will to ensure your wishes are carried out, a Law which originated in 1925 decides who inherits your possessions after you die?
Most of us will have considered making a Will, yet only 30% of the population have done so. Even the most sensible of us often think that making a Will is something to do ‘when I’m older’ or that making a Will is somehow morbid.
Your Will must be in writing and, for it to be valid and not open to challenge, it must comply with certain formalities.
In addition your Will…
- States who the beneficiaries are who you would like to benefit from your estate, this could be family, friends or organisations.
- Specifies who your Executors are – these are the people you must appoint to execute the administration of your estate.
- States who you would like to appoint as Guardians and Trustees of your minor children.
- Mentions the necessary powers of which they need to administrate your estate.
- Allows specific items, possessions and family heirlooms to be mentioned.
- Specifies your funeral wishes.
- Your Will only comes into force on your death. By making a will it can prevent unnecessary pain, stress and worry for your loved ones and it also protects what is precious to you.
