Many people leave the comparatively simple task of making a Will until tomorrow. By making a Will you can ensure that all your wishes regarding your estate will be given full legal effect, so that your estate can be passed on to those who you wish to benefit.

The importance of making a Will cannot be overstressed. If you die without making a Will the state directs who inherits your assets so your relatives, friends and favourite charities may receive nothing.
It is particularly important to make a Will if you are not married to your partner, this is because the law does not automatically recognize partners as having the same rights as husbands and wives. As a result, even if you've lived together for many years, your partner may be left with nothing in the event that you have not made a Will.

A Will is also vital if you have children or dependants who may not be able to care for themselves.
Without a Will there could be uncertainty about who will look after or provide for them if you die.

You may have made a Will several years ago, but have found that your circumstances may have changed.

You may have subsequently married or divorced which can make an existing Will invalid.

Your family may have increased or decreased or the value of your estate may have altered considerably, all of this shows that you must review your Will regularly as it may need to be revised or amended to allow for those changes.

We work hard throughout our lives to build our personal wealth, which is why it is vital to take steps to protect our money and our assets so that it can be enjoyed by those people and organisations most important to us, once we have gone.
