Let’s be honest, writing a will isn’t exactly anyone’s idea of a fun way to spend a Saturday. It might feel like something only older people or millionaires need to worry about.
But here’s the thing: if you have people you care about (kids, a partner, a favourite niece, or even just a beloved dog), having a will is one of the kindest, most sensible things you can do.
So, what is a Will, really?
A Will is your way of making sure everything you leave behind — money, possessions, property, sentimental treasures — goes exactly where you want it to go. It also outlines who should care for your kids if they’re under 18, and who’s in charge of sorting everything out when the time comes.
Basically, your Will is your voice when you’re not here to speak for yourself.
What if I don’t have one?
If you die without a Will, the law decides who gets what and it might not match what you would have chosen. For example, if you’re not married to your partner, they could end up with nothing or if you’ve promised your Granddaughter your Grandmother’s ring, she might never see it.
Not to be dramatic, but skipping a Will can lead to confusion, delays, family fallouts, and even legal battles. Nobody wants to leave that kind of legacy.
“But my life’s pretty simple…”
That’s exactly why a Will helps! It doesn’t need to be fancy or complicated, even a straightforward Will can save your family time, money, and a whole lot of stress. We can help you think it through and get it done in plain English.
Life changes, so your Will should too.
Got married? Had a baby? Bought a house? If something big changes, it’s worth reviewing your Will to keep it up to date as it might not be valid anymore. It’s like checking your smoke alarm, a small thing that makes a big difference.
