A will is a legal document which sets out who benefits from your estate, and in what proportion. Making a will is important as it avoids the difficulties, unnecessary delays, and even the stress that can occur where there is no will.

There are many advantages of making a will, such as ensuring that your estate is divided as you wish. The intestacy rules (which apply if you do not make a will) are unlikely to reflect your intention. It is particularly important to make a will if you are co-habiting, divorced, separated, or if you re-marry.

If you have dependent children, it is important to appoint guardians to ensure their welfare. A will enables you to appoint executors of your choice to deal with your estate. Making a will can enable you to minimise the tax payable on your estate.
