Make a Will to Protect What Matters Most

A Will is the simplest, most effective way to make sure your wishes are known and your loved ones are protected. Taking a little time now brings lasting peace of mind for you and those you leave behind.

Why a Will matters

• You can decide: A Will lets you decide who inherits your assets, rather than leaving those decisions to chance.
• Protect loved ones: You can name guardians for minor children, make provisions for pets and specify how and when beneficiaries should receive their inheritance.
• Avoid any confusion and conflict: Clear instructions reduce the risk of family disputes and delays when you’re gone.
• Speed and clarity: Having a Will can make the estate process quicker and more straightforward for those you care about.
• Shape your Legacy: You can make gifts in your Will to continue supporting the people or even charities and projects you care about, often for generations to come.

What can happen without a Will

• If you die without a Will your assets will be distributed under the rules of intestacy.
• The intestacy rules only recognise certain family relationships and won’t consider your individual circumstances.
• Children may not be placed with a guardian you would have chosen.
• Valuable time and money can be spent sorting out your affairs during an already difficult time.
