Wills

A will is one of the most important things you can do to protect the people you love. It allows you to set out your wishes and make things easier for your loved ones when you're no longer here.

Without a will, decisions about your estate may not be made in the way you would have wanted.

Why should I make a will?

Making a will means you can decide who inherits your money, property and belongings. It also allows you to make provision for your children and helps give your loved ones clarity about your wishes.

What happens if I die without a will?

If you die without a will, your estate is distributed according to the rules of intestacy. These rules determine who inherits, and they may not reflect what you would have wanted. For example, an unmarried partner may not automatically inherit from your estate.

Do I need a will if I'm married or have children?

Yes, it's still important to have a will. Marriage doesn't mean your spouse automatically inherits everything, and having children can make planning even more important. A will can help you decide how your estate is distributed and allow you to appoint guardians for children under 18.

Can I choose who inherits my estate?

Yes. A will allows you to set out who you want to benefit from your estate, whether that's family, friends or a charity. You can also specify particular gifts and belongings you'd like certain people to receive.

When should I make a will?

It's never too early to plan ahead. Getting married, having children, buying a property or experiencing a change in your family circumstances are all good reasons to make or review a will.

Can I change my will later?

Yes. You can update your will as your circumstances or wishes change. It's a good idea to review it following major life events to make sure it still reflects what you want.
