IF you haven’t made a Will, the law in the UK
dictates how your possessions are divided up. If you are married,
your husband or wife may not inherit everything you own, and
if you are single with no close family, all that you have
could pass to the State. By making a Will you can decide for
yourself what will happen to your estate, and you could avoid
unnecessary worry and complications for those you leave behind.
AMONGST other things, you can deal with the following:
You can choose executors. These are the
people that will carry out the instructions in the Will. You
sometimes need only one executor though it is common to appoint
at least two, who may be family or friends. There is no reason
why a beneficiary cannot also be an executor.
If the Will or your family circumstances are complicated
you might like to appoint professional executors.
If you have young children it is important to consider
the appointment of a guardian to look after them should
both parents die while the children are under the age of 18.
You should also consider creating a trust and appointing
trustees to look after your estate until your children
are old enough to inherit.
Your Will can make legacies to family, friends or
charities of your choice.
If you wish, you can also give directions about your funeral,
and whether you wish to be buried or cremated.
