Should I make a Will?

What if I don’t make a Will?

If you don’t make a Will, the law of Intestacy will apply and the state directs who inherits, so your friends, favourite charities and relatives may get nothing.

Dying intestate (i.e. dying without a Will) may also mean that more tax is paid on your death than would have been the case had there been a Will. Will disputes may also be avoided through a carefully drafted Will.

Without a Will:

  • Your unmarried partner will not inherit your estate and even if you are married, your spouse may not inherit everything
  • If you have young children, you will not have specified who will look after them and manage their financial affairs
  • Step-children? Friends? Charities? Without a Will, none of them will be able to benefit
  • The costs of administering your estate will be increased.
