A Will gives you control over what happens to your money and possessions a er you die. It certainly makes life easier for whomever sorts out your a airs. It’s a way of leaving instructions that must be carried out a er your death. Not writing a Will can create problems for your loved ones that are le behind. e rules of intestacy then apply. Only spouses, civil partners and blood relatives can inherit.
