What is a Will?

A Will is a legal document that is drafted to ensure your Estate (assets/inheritance) will be managed in accordance with your personal wishes when you pass away. Your Will provides details of any specific gifts that you wish to make to beneficiaries, as well as funeral preferences. A Will also contains the appointment of legal guardians for your children and names the designated persons who will act in your best interests as the Executor of your Estate, otherwise known as the administrator. A Will is bespoke to each and every person’s individual circumstances but can be mirrored to echo couples requirements vice versa. This is very common for spouses or life partners who ultimately want the same outcome to be incorporated into Mirror Wills.

If you pass away without a having a valid Will in place, the Intestacy Rules will apply which can delay the probate process for several months and cause undue stress for your loved ones. You also run the risk of your Estate passing to distant family relatives who you may not want to benefit from your Estate whatsoever. Don’t leave it to chance, make it official and legal!
