Making
a Will is something many people find difficult and as a result, put it off
until it is too late.
Worryingly,
57% of UK Adults do not have a Will in place.
Wills
are extremely crucial and provide peace of mind to ensure that those you have chosen to benefit from your estate after your
days, will do so.
Talking
or thinking about making a Will is not something people like to do, so we at
Harvey Baker do all we can to make the process as easy and stress-free as
possible.
Having
a Will in place not only provides guidance as to how your estate is to be
distributed after your days, but also allows
you to decide who will have authority to administer your estate.
If you
do not put in place a Will, then when you pass away, your estate will be governed by the rules of intestacy and it is these rules which dictate who will benefit from your estate
and who will able to administer it.
If
your estate is dealt with as per the intestacy rules, this may leave your
family in a financially and emotionally difficult position, and those you think
may benefit from your estate, may not.
Having a professionally drafted Will in place, will
ensure that your estate will pass
according to your wishes and instructions. Without the assistance of a
professional, you may be missing the opportunity of leaving your estate in the
most secure and efficient way possible.
