North London Wills and Probate
Wills are important
A will is amongst your most important legal documents. At least it should be…50% of the adult population in this country do not have a will. Are you amongst that 50%?
What no having a will means
Not having a will means:
- Your estate will be distributed to your relatives according to the laws of intestacy, which can have quite unexpected results.
- The likelihood of family disputes over inheritance increases.
- Your intentions are not heard.
- The benefit your loved one’s derive from your estate is lessened due to the burden of inheritance tax.
- Grand children and young children may not be able to benefit from your estate.
- You will have no say in your own funeral arrangements.
- You will not be able to choose the executors of your estate.
Quite clearly then, there are many drawbacks to not having a will.
Disadvantage of having a will
Cost. That’s it! Wills are not particularly expensive. Many types of simple will can be advised on a fixed fee basis. The small, affordable cost of making a will is often far outweighed by the advantages they have to offer.
Already have a will?
If you already have a will, you should think about reviewing and updating it at least every five years. However, if:
- You get married
- Have children
- Acquire valuable property
…you should think about having your will reviewed sooner rather than later.
