Regardless of your age, having no Will causes a wide range of financial and other stressful obstacles for those left behind.
You do not want people you have not appointed to make decisions about your Estate that you would not have wished for when you were alive.
Wills
A Will is a legal document that sets out what is to happen to your assets and liabilities when you die. After your death, your assets and liabilities are collectively referred to as your Estate.
A Will is a complex document with real world ramifications if not drafted correctly. There is a vast body of case law and legislation that needs to be considered when drafting a Will. Failure to do so, can lead to a Will which does not reflect your wishes or fails in part or in full.
It is a small investment to make, to have the peace of mind of knowing that your Will has been professionally prepared and reflects your true wishes. This applies no matter how little or how much you own. A poorly drafted Will may lead to costly litigation, which can cause great stress and financial hardship to those you love.
Leave the burden to our professionals who have had many years’ worth of experience in dealing with drafting, amending, and disputing Wills.
Estate Administration
If you have been appointed as executor by someone who died with a Will, you have been given a complicated role that has many legal obligations with personal liability attached to them.
Saving money by not appointing lawyers to assist you, often means that certain estate administration tasks are placing your personal assets at risk. For an executor, there is nothing worse than finding out you are personally liable by not administering an estate correctly.
