Will preparation
A Will is a legal declaration of how you wish the assets in your estate to be dealt with after your death. Will preparation makes it much easier for your family or friends to administer your assets when you die. If you die without a Will the process can be more time consuming and stressful. It will also mean that your estate will be distributed in accordance with the intestacy rules applicable at your death – which isn’t always the way you might want. Your Will must comply with the legal formalities set out in statute law in order for it to be valid.
