What is a Last Will and Testament? 

​

A Last Will and Testament is a critical document in estate planning that allows you to specify how your assets should be distributed after your death, appoint guardians for minor children, and ensure your wishes are carried out. It provides control over your estate, helps protect your loved ones, and can minimize potential conflicts and taxes. To ensure its validity, a will must meet specific legal requirements, including being signed by the testator in the presence of witnesses. Regularly updating your will and seeking professional legal advice can help ensure that your estate is managed according to your wishes.

​

Why is a Will Important 

​

 Without a Will in place, you risk dying intestate. This means that your property (the estate) must be shared according to certain rules known as "rules of intestacy". You will risk leaving loved ones out of benefiting from your estate and including family members you may not want to include.
