Writing a will might not be top of our 'to do' list, however there are very good reasons why having a valid will is so important.

The following page explains why we should all make a will and how our expert will writing advisors at GB Legal can help.

Why making a will is so important

Throughout our adult lives, we are encouraged to take the time to make a Will. This is so important, for the following reasons:

1. If you die without a will, there are rules which will dictate how your Estate (money, property, land, other possessions) should be allocated. When making a will, ensure that your wishes are very clear.
2. If your current Will is poorly drafted or is out of date, there is no guarantee your assets and possessions will pass onto those people you wanted to inherit from you. This can cause more stress and perhaps financial difficulty for those left behind. Disputes relating to wills can be costly and time-consuming to resolve.
3. When writing a Will you can also state who you wish to be responsible for distributing your assets and, if needed, identify who will be the guardian of your children, if they are under 18 years of age.
4. Unmarried partners and those partners who have not registered a civil partnership cannot inherit from each other unless they have a Will. Not making a Will may create serious financial problems for the remaining partner.
5. You may be able to reduce the amount of inheritance tax payable if you take advice in advance of your death and a Will is prepared.
6. Your circumstances may have changed, for example, you may have separated and your ex-partner is living with someone else.
