Why bother writing a Will?

Without a Will, your estate will be divided according to the rules of intestacy, and therefore your assets may not be passed on and divided according to your wishes. Writing a Will ensures;

1. You get to decide who inherits what

A Will allows you to make gifts of money or specific items to individuals or charities of your choosing. If you do not write a Will then everything you own will be distributed in accordance with the intestacy rules. And, depending on your individual circumstances, the entirety of your estate could escheat to the Crown.

Furthermore the intestacy rules do not recognise unmarried partners or stepchildren. As a result, even if you’ve lived together for many years, your cohabitant or stepchild may be left with nothing if you do not write a Will.

2. Your loved ones can bypass intestacy and access your estate faster

Intestacy is a time-consuming and stressful process. It can take many months, sometimes years, to gain access to assets after a person dies. In the meantime, bills can pile up for those financially dependent on you.

3. Avoid unnecessary disagreements and tension among your loved ones

There are numerous examples throughout history of families of famous stars such as Barry White, Bob Marley and Jimi Hendrix squabbling for years because of the rules of intestacy; writing a Will means your loved ones are less likely to fall out over who gets what after you are gone.

4. Appoint a legal guardian for your children

Making a Will allows you to choose the person you believe will offer the best care for your children if you’re not around.

5. Leave instructions

Writing a Will also has the crucial advantage of allowing you to leave instructions about how you want your body to be dealt with after you die.
