More About Why You Should Make a Will
Why Make a Will?
"... most people intend to make a Will... so its amazing when reports suggest that over 60% do not have a valid Will... Is PUTTING IT OFF the biggest reason for this statistic?"
Do YOU want to decide WHO DOES WHAT.....WHO GETS WHAT....WHO DOES NOT after you die?
Wills are not just about money or property, they are about meeting responsibilities and securing the future for your dependants, family, friends or even charities. Making a will and putting your affairs in order is one of the most important tasks you are likely to undertake. It is reported that 65% of people do not have valid a Will. If you die intestate (without having made a will) then the law determines how your estate (property and assets) is divided. It could mean that your partner receives less, or that the money goes to family members who you may not wish to receive it.
Married Couples Without a Will, if you have children, your spouse may only inherit half of your estate. If you do not have children, your spouse may have to share your estate with their parents-in-law.
Unmarried Couples Unless you have made a Will, your common-law partner may be getting nothing at all from your estate even if you have children together, no matter how long you have lived with on another.
Separated? If you do not make a Will, your separated husband or wife may be entitled to inherit part of your estate and may even have continuing rights in part of the remainder of the estate, including control of any Trust Fund set up for your children.
Parents Without a Will, the court will decide who should bring up your children. You should appoint at least two guardians for all children under the age of eighteen.
Everybody You may wish to leave specific items of personal sentiment or value to certain people or even your chosen charities; this can only happen if you make a Will. Having a valid Will in place is assurance that those you want to inherit WILL and those you don't WON'T.
