A Will is one of the most important documents you will ever create. It provides peace of mind, protects your legacy and ensures your final wishes are followed.

Dying ‘intestate’ or without a Will, can be incredibly problematic for the loved ones you leave behind. Legal costs, family rows over entitlements to assets, unnecessary tax charges and even court involvement can occur if you die without a Will.

Why is having a Will important?

It’s important to have a Will because there are very strict rules that will dictate what will happen to your assets when you die – and it may not be what you want, or what you think will happen.

It’s easier to make a Will than you think – as long as you can tell us what you want to happen when you die, we can make it happen.
