And those gures get worse when you look at the older age groups. Nearly half of those aged over 55 do not have a will. In these uncertain times, many people are now reviewing what arrangements they should make. There is often a belief – entirely misplaced – that the next of kin can make decisions about the estate of a loved one. at is simply not the case in law. If you do not get round to drawing up that will, you will have to rely on the law to decide the nancial fate of your loved ones. If you put in place an up-to-date will, you will have control over who manages your estate and where your money goes upon your death. You can make vital, tax e ective choices about how your estate is divided. is can save a lot of heartache and costs for grieving relatives who are le to pick up the pieces a er you have gone.
