Making a Will

If you die without making a Will, the important people in your life may not be entrusted to look after your estate when you’re gone, and more inheritance tax may be payable.

• Making a Will also provides you with an opportunity to take tax planning advice, and this ensures that probate proceeds in a tax efficient manner thereby saving your estate from a significant inheritance tax bill.
• You may even want to ensure that someone in your family does not benefit or, that if one of your beneficiaries dies, other family members, or even a charity, should inherit in their place.
• You could also use your Will to write your personal requests for your funeral.
• Wills can also include trusts to protect assets. Will Trusts can be particularly useful if you have complicated family arrangements, a second marriage or cohabit with a partner.

Amendments to existing Wills

Your circumstances will inevitably change at certain points in your life, and you may revise your decisions regarding who you want to leave your estate to.

You should always search for the services of a Will writing solicitor to ensure that your Will is properly amended in order to reflect those desired changes.
It is wise to keep an existing Will and wishes under regular review – for example:

• You may now be separated or divorced meaning you are free to nominate new beneficiaries.
• You may be getting married or entering into a civil partnership (marriage automatically cancels any existing Will) – when you get married you may wish to draw up mirror Wills.
• You may now have children who had not been born when your existing Will was drawn, or your children may now be grown up with children of their own.
• You may now be a property owner with the consequence that you have a significant asset to dispose of upon your death so a Will Trust may now be of relevance.
• You may, unfortunately, find yourself in the position whereby an executor or named beneficiary in your existing Will has died.
• There may have been a number of changes in taxation policies that will affect your probate.
