Neither is visiting the dentist or having your car serviced. But in the long run, it pays dividends. If you haven’t already written one, now is a good time to start considering your planning needs and requirements. 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. If none of these exist, your estate goes to the Crown. at means a partner who was not married or in a civil partnership gets nothing, and that’s probably not what you intended. Contact Heritage Will Writing to take control and make life easier for you and your family a er your death.
