Will Writing
Why Do I Need a Will?
A Will is a legal document that sets out how you want your estate, money and possessions to be dealt with after your death. Without a valid Will, UK intestacy law determines who inherits your estate, which may not reflect your wishes.
Many people put off making a Will, believing it is something to think about later in life. However, having a professionally prepared Will can help protect your loved ones and ensure your wishes are clearly set out.
For a Will to be legally valid, it must be in writing and meet specific legal requirements, including the correct signing and witnessing formalities.
At Future Legal, we provide professional Will writing and estate planning advice in clear, easy-to-understand language, helping you make the right decisions for you and your family.
What Does a Will Include?
In addition to setting out how your estate should be dealt with, a Will can:
-
Name the beneficiaries you wish to benefit from your estate, including family, friends or organisations.
-
Appoint your Executors, who will be responsible for administering your estate.
-
Name Guardians and Trustees for your minor children.
-
Provide the necessary powers and instructions for administering your estate.
-
Include specific gifts, possessions and family heirlooms you wish to leave to particular people.
-
Record your funeral wishes.
Your Will only comes into effect after your death. Making a Will can help reduce unnecessary stress and uncertainty for your loved ones, while helping protect the people and things that matter most to you.
It is important to keep your Will up to date, particularly when your circumstances change. Our membership schemes can provide ongoing support and regular reviews to help keep your Will current.
