Who needs a Will?

Many people, particularly young adults, think they have no need for a will.


Imagine a young lady, unmarried but living with her partner in a home they bought together.

Two months before the wedding, she is critically injured in a car accident and later dies.

Who do the doctors update?

Who decides about the type of care she should receive?

And what happens to the house she bought with her partner?


These are all reasons why every adult, no matter their age or family status, needs basic estate-planning documents that dictate their wishes if they die or become incapacitated.


Members of the Military service should strongly consider devising a Will. Because of the risk involved in their jobs, it is imperative they have peace of mind and that their wishes are followed in the event of their death.


In fact, almost 65 per cent of people in Britain do not yet have a Will – taking away the control they have over what happens to their money and belongings when they die.


Making assumptions that your money and belongings will automatically go to your partner, children or parents should be avoided as there are many conditions in probate law that mean your estate is at risk if you die intestate.

By taking the time to make a Will now you can ensure that your loved ones receive exactly what you want them to instead of the law deciding who gets what.
