Why draft a will ?
If you don’t make a will then you do not control who inherits your estate.
In some circumstances this can mean that people close to you do not benefit in the way you had intended. For example, many people assume that there is no need to make a will because their spouse will inherit everything but this is not necessarily the case.
An unmarried partner is not automatically entitled to receive anything from your estate, even if you have lived together for many years.
Planning in advance and making a will also ensures that you are aware of any potential inheritance tax liability, and can discuss your options with your solicitor and financial advisor.
Do you have any questions?
A properly drafted will gives peace of mind that you have taken care of the future.
