Why You Need a Will
Did you know?
If you die without a will, the government decides who gets what — and it may not be who you’d expect.
A Will ensures you can:
-
Decide who inherits your assets
-
Appoint guardians for your children
-
Protect your partner if you are unmarried
-
Prevent unnecessary stress for your family
-
Minimise inheritance tax where possible
