Why Write a Will?
Should a person die without a will, their possessions may fall to family whom they have not spoken to for years, rather than the loved one they have resided with for decades.
Writing a will removes doubt surrounding your wishes, and lets you leave suitable provision for your partner, giving them security during what will be a very difficult time.
Even if you are married, having a written will allows you to determine other gifts that you may wish to leave the rest of your family.
From financial trusts for your grandchildren, to leaving a bequest to your favourite charity, and ensuring that Auntie Irene’s necklace goes to your daughter, having a will clearly sets out your wishes for your possessions after you are gone.
Having a will helps solicitors and family during times of sudden illness. You can appoint a trusted individual to be given “power of attorney”, meaning that should you be incapacitated they can make decisions about your medical care, including any end of life care that you may need.
You can also set out any wishes you have for your funeral, and name the people you wish to act as executors of your will, as they will work with your solicitor to make sure that your wishes are followed promptly and appropriately.
Although legal provision is made for people who pass away without writing a will, the laws around “intestacy” are complex, and can lead to months of anxiety for family members. Contact Direct Will Trusts Belmont today, and we can help you take the first steps to stopping that anxiety.
Why Use Direct Will Trusts?
Along with ensuring that your will is legally acceptable, we can also advise on inheritance tax laws and how your estate will be affected by them, and the creation of asset protection trusts. We can also store your will on site, so you don’t have to worry about keeping it at home.
Will Writing 4u - A Personal Service
Making a will something some of us do not want to think about; however, if you do not take the time to fill in a will then your worldly possessions will be distributed according to a law dating back to 1925. Under this law you are not always assured that your spouse or civil partner will inherit your property – you simply cannot leave this to chance.
Making a Will ensures that your affairs, after your passing, will not have to sorted out by those saddening and distraught by your passing. Making a will is a more constructive and cheaper option. Anyone can make a will, from the elderly to very small children and it is something every individual should consider. But, it is something we rarely get down to.
A Will is something you need to do now in order to safeguard your property and the possessions you have worked to hard to get.
Our Will writers deliver a personalised and efficient service to our clients.
