Making a will may not be at the top of your list of priorities.  You may see it as unnecessary, morbid and something that can be put off.  However, if you want any control over the way in which your assets are distributed when you die, it is crucial that you make a will today.

Two out of every three people die without leaving a will, and the rules laid down by the government (the intestacy rules) dictate how your assets will be distributed when you die.

You may be surprised at how inexpensive, quick and easy making a will can be.  Instructing us to make a will on your behalf can provide peace of mind and security, not only for the person making the will, but also for the whole family.

On the other hand, if no will has been made by the time someone dies, it is often distressing and confusing for the people who are left behind.  Relatives or friends who may be expecting to benefit from your will may not be entitled to a share; the family home may need to be sold and, if you were in an unmarried relationship, your partner will not be entitled to anything under the rules laid down by the State.

We can also advise you in relation to tax, probate and the formalities which need to be taken into account when preparing or administering a will.

The dedicated team at Fuster & Associates are able to answer any queries or apprehensions you may have before you decide to make a will.
