Wills For Life
Do you want to make a Will quickly and efficiently without the hassle and high costs of visiting a Lawyer, or struggling and getting confused with DIY type Wills?
A Will is the most Important Step in Protecting the Future of your Loved ones.
Everyone knows that they should have a Will but very few of us actually get around to doing it. Approximately 2 out of every 3 people will never get round to it until it is too late. The rules of in testate (rules and distribution of an estate for those that die without having a Will) are far from ideal and very often create hardship. So take the first Step today.
Typical Misconceptions and Facts about Wills.
- A family can suffer acute hardship if a person has no Will as often there are delays in dealing with an estate which can run into years.
- Many people think their immediate family will benefit and get all they own should they die without a Will. This is not necessarily the case.
- If there are no immediate relatives and you don't have a Will the state can inherit all your assets.
- Millions of pounds are paid to inheritance tax because a Will has not been drawn up. Most people would rather their money go to charity rather than the taxman.
- If you are a single parent you can decide who will be the guardian of your child if something should happen to you, or if there is no Will the state decides - what would you want?
Why do you need a Will.
The rules of intestate (if you don't have a Will are far from ideal and are simply away of resolving outstanding estates. In general they are a compromise. Undoubtedly they can cause hardships to families, these rules are shown in the Glossary section.

- Ensure your wishes are known, you may want to ensure that a member of your family does not benefit from your death!
- You may want to maximize you inheritance tax allowance.
- Who will look after your pets when you die.
- Its far better for you to decide than the state.
- If you have no immediate relatives the state could benefit from your estate.

What if I have no relatives or beneficiaries
Particularly when we get old we find that most if not all of our relatives have predeceased us. Sadly if no near relatives are available and we have not written a will this falls under the rules of intestate.
Sadly and in line with most of our fears our hard earned cash and all our property will fall to the state. You can make a Will which will allow friends or charities to benefit and prevent the state from benefiting from your death.
