A Will gives you options and control to ensure that on your death your assets pass in accordance with your wishes. It ensures that your estate can be administered smoothly and with the maximum benefit of those you leave behind.

When taking instructions for a Will we will advise on inheritance tax, asset protection by the inclusion of a trust in your Will and the appointment of guardians if you have minor children. A Will can therefore offer a flexible solution to practical problems.

Homemade Wills should be avoided as they can cause complications for those left to deal with the administration of your estate. If you do not have a Will in place then on your death the intestacy rules will apply. This can result in your assets being passed to individuals whom you may not wish to benefit and can cause complications in dealing with the administration of your estate.

Wills can provide for children of a previous marriage to ensure that they eventually benefit from your estate.
