The benefits of creating a valid Will cannot be understated. If you die without leaving a valid Will you may unwittingly cause problems which can be very difficult to sort out. In this situation, the law provides strict rules which spell out how your property and assets are to be shared. The effect may not be at all what you would have wanted.
Making a Will enables you to decide who will benefit from your lifes work when you die rather than your property being distributed according to the law. It enables you to take control and to name those people you would like to benefit from your estate whether they are family members, friends and/or charitable organisations.
Wills are important documents enabling you to provide financial security for your loved ones in the event of your death. They can enable you to give specific gifts such as jewellary to a specific member of the family or an opportunity to give a small financial gift to a helpful neighbour. The Will provides certainty and enables you to benefit others in the way you want.
