Professional Wills

The Point of a Will

A Will only gives away what has not been taken from you or what you have not spent. Understandably, people have reservations regarding this delicate matter, but the process need not turn out to be as upsetting and difficult as you might think. In fact, having made a Will gives you a feeling that you have done everything correctly and provides inner warmth that only comes in the knowledge that you have tied up all those loose ends.

Making sure that you have a Will is not enough; it has to be the right type of Will – one that is professionally drafted to take into account your wishes, and your personal and financial circumstances.

The correct Will can allow you to:

• Specify whom you wish to inherit your estate, in what order and in what proportions so that you have comfort in the knowledge that your wishes will be carried out.

• Make specific legacies to family or friends or gifts to your favourite charities.

• Appoint suitable guardians for young children rather than leaving the decision to the Courts.

• Set up maintenance trusts for children to protect their inheritance until an age specified by you.

• Ensure the inheritance of your children or other beneficiaries should the survivor re-marry.

• Protect your share of the property from having to be sold to pay for the survivor’s future care fees, thus still having assets to leave to your family.

Amending an Existing Will

If you already have a Will, it is recommended that you review it every 2 to 5 years. Sometimes your wishes may not have changed, but the value of your assets and the law may have. As such it is very important to ensure that your Will is up-to-date in order to make the most of current legislation and to protect your family and finances.
