What is a Will?
A Will is a legal document that outlines how you want your assets and estate to be distributed after you pass away.
It sets out who you want to inherit your property, money, and possessions, as well as who you want to be responsible for carrying out your wishes. Writing a Will is essential to ensure that your final wishes are met, and your assets go to the people you want them to, but is only one part of Estate Planning.
Can I review and change my Will?
It’s important to review your Will periodically to ensure it still aligns with your wishes and takes into account any significant changes in your life. This can include changes in your marital status, the birth of children or grandchildren, or changes to your financial situation.
By regularly reviewing your Will, you can have peace of mind knowing that your final wishes will be carried out as you intended. If you’re unsure whether you should review your Will or not, our expert advisors can guide you through the process and provide valuable insight.
What would happen if I didn't have a Will?
A Will is one of the most important legal documents you will ever create. It’s the only way to ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes after you pass away.
Without a Will, your estate will be distributed according to the laws of intestacy, which may not align with your wishes. This can lead to disputes and delays for your loved ones during an already difficult time.
A Will is especially important if you have children, as it allows you to name a legal guardian to care for them in the event of your death. Without a Will, the court will decide who should care for your children. Having a Will also allows you to make charitable donations, provide for any dependents, and can even help minimize inheritance tax liabilities

Wills FAQ
It’s a good idea to create a Will as soon as you become an adult, typically at the age of 18. A Will ensures that your wishes are legally recognised, and it becomes especially important as you start accumulating assets or have specific preferences for distributing your belongings after you pass away.
Your Will should cover everything related to your estate and how you want things handled after you’re gone. This includes who should inherit your assets, how your property should be distributed, and if you have minor children, who will take care of them. It’s a way to express your wishes clearly, ensuring your loved ones are taken care of.
An Executor is like a guardian angel for your Will. You choose a trusted person to be your Executor, and they are responsible for making sure your wishes are carried out. They handle everything from distributing your assets to dealing with debts and finalizing legal matters.
You have the flexibility to appoint one or more Executors in your Will. It’s common to choose multiple Executors, like family members or close friends, to share the responsibilities and provide support to one another during the estate administration process.
Absolutely! Life is constantly changing, and so can your circumstances and preferences. You can update your Will anytime you want to reflect those changes. Whether you acquire new assets, have a child, or simply change your mind about something, it’s crucial to keep your Will up-to-date.
An Executor handles the distribution of your assets and ensures your Will is followed as per your instructions. On the other hand, a Trustee manages any assets placed in a trust for specific beneficiaries, ensuring they are taken care of according to your wishes.
Absolutely! Keeping your Will safe and easily accessible is vital. Consider storing it in a secure location, like with a solicitor or a bank, and inform your loved ones about its whereabouts. This way, they can access it easily when the time comes, making the process smoother for everyone involved.
