By writing a Will, you can ensure that your estate – including money, property and other assets – is distributed according to your wishes after you’ve died. Without a valid Will in place, it’s possible your loved ones could face financial and legal obstacles as they attempt to carry out your wishes themselves, and disputes could even arise.
One specific issues it that, should you pass away without a Will, you will have died ‘intestate’ and the Intestacy rules will take effect. However, if you have one in place you will be able to bypass this process and ensure your estate benefits the right people.
