Why a will?
If you die without a will, you'll have no control on how your money, property or possessions will be shared out.
It’s important to make a will whether or not you think you have many possessions or much money.
Partners
Unmarried partners and partners who haven’t registered a civil partnership can’t inherit from each other unless there’s a will. This could create serious financial problems for whoever’s left.
Children
If you have children, it’s very important to make a will so you can make sure everything is sorted for them.
Money
There’s a good chance it might be possible to reduce the amount of tax payable on any inheritance (if advice is taken in advance and a will is made).
