Wills

Making a Will is important for us all. It gives peace of mind that arrangements after your death will be easier to understand for your family, next of kin, the courts and tax authorities and for any professionals tasked with administering your estate.

Some of the things to consider are:

• the appointment of executors and trustees ensures that there is someone with the necessary authority to deal with your estate and apply for the necessary grant of representation
• you may want to specify within your Will some funeral wishes to guide your executors
• the appointment of a guardian of any infant children is often an essential consideration for parents or primary carers
• provide others with gifts of money or other assets
• charitable giving may allow you to qualify for additional tax relief
• to ensure the continuation of any maintenance that you provided to loved ones continues after your death
• to ensure that your spouse or civil partner can remain in occupation of any home that you share whilst ring fencing assets against costs of care
• a Will can be an important aid to inheritance and other estate tax planning and reflect the law as it currently stands
