Why Make a Will?

A legally valid Will gives you peace of mind, knowing your estate will be managed according to your wishes. It can:

  • Ensure your assets go to the right people
  • Appoint guardians for your children
  • Avoid disputes over estates
  • Minimise Inheritance Tax (IHT) and avoid costly court fees
  • Protect cohabiting partners and stepchildren not covered by intestacy rules
  • Make is easier for your loved ones to sort out your financial affairs after your death

Without a Will, the law decides who inherits, under Intestacy Rules, which may not reflect your intentions. In modern family structures, these rules often fall short, so it’s vital to take control while you can.

What Happens Without a Will (Intestacy Explained)

When someone dies without a Will, assets are distributed under the Intestacy Rules, which set out who should receive assets:

  • Spouses & children split the estate based on statutory rules:
  • Cohabiting partners and stepchildren may receive nothing
  • Assets follow a strict family hierarchy – leaving no room for nuance
  • Separated couples remain legal beneficiaries

Modern families deserve modern solutions. A bespoke Will allows you to override outdated legislation and provide true peace of mind.
