Do I Really Need a Will?

December 02, 2025

A Will is one of the simplest but most important documents you’ll ever make.
It sets out exactly what you want to happen to your property, money and personal items when you die.

Without a Will, the intestacy rules decide who inherits — not you. This could mean:

  • A partner you’re not married to receiving nothing
  • Children inheriting before you intended
  • Family disputes or delays in administering the estate
  • Higher costs and stress for those left behind

A professionally written Will ensures your wishes are followed and gives your loved ones clarity at a difficult time. It also helps reduce disputes, avoids unnecessary legal complications, and lets you choose trusted executors to deal with everything smoothly.
