Death is an inevitable part of life and perhaps the only guaranteed part, yet only 1 in 3 of them decide to make a Will. Planning what will happen to your estate in the event of your death is vital. If someone dies without a Will, their family members or relatives will have no say over who gets what and when. Some jointly held assets may automatically pass to the co-owner and Statutory Intestacy Rules will divide what is left among other relatives. You may end up giving up more in Taxes.
More importantly, if you have children and die without a Will in place, there will be no control over who will bring up your children, who will look after their money, or be held in Trust. Setting up a Trust within your Will is a sensible way to protect assets for beneficiaries who may require ongoing support before or after you die. The most tax-efficient and effective solutions require you to take the right legal advice.
