Do I need to make a Will?
The answer is "yes". If you do not make a Will your estate may not go to the people you want it to. Furthermore, you may not adequately protect your estate from Inheritance Tax.
For example if you die without making a Will (known as being intestate), your estate will usually be divided amongst your family, based on a series of rules. These rules depend on the value of your estate, whether you are married, whether you have children, whether your children are alive etc. To ensure that your personal wishes are carried out you must make a Will.
A Will is one of the most important documents you will possess and it has direct implications for your next of kin when you die.
A Will can also be an effective vehicle for avoiding or reducing your liability to Inheritance Tax (IHT), particularly in relation to your spouse or civil partner.
