Making a Will Making a Will is one of those things which most of us admit to "putting off". However, it is a very important document, and one which everyone should consider making. We at Hopkins have many years of experience in drafting Wills of all types and complexities, and our approachable staff on the Probate Team can guide you through the Will-making process step by step. Why make a Will? There are many advantages to making a Will, the most important being your peace of mind! Some of the numerous advantages are listed below: To give you the peace of mind and certainty that your wishes will be carried out To avoid the rigid and complex rules of intestacy making things easier and quicker for the family you leave behind To ensure that you benefit those people you wish to benefit, including any charities you would like to make a donation to To appoint any guardians for your infant children To reduce any Inheritance Tax or other taxes which may have to be paid from your estate. What happens if I don't make a Will? There may be delays in settling your estate which can cause more distress for your family at what is already a difficult time Your estate will be distributed by the rigid law of intestacy. This is the law that governs cases where there is no Will. By leaving your estate to be distributed according to these rules, your estate may not go to those people you wish it to. One important example of this is if you are not married to your partner There may be additional legal expenses if the estate is difficult to administer under intestacy law. As you can see, your Will is an important document and it is important that all possible steps are taken to ensure that your Will is valid.
