Why do I need a will?
Many people believe that Wills are the preserve of the wealthy and question the importance of having a Will if they do not have significant amounts of money to leave to their family. However, there are numerous reasons why having a Will is important, including:
- Deciding who should benefit from your estate
- To protect unmarried partners
- Appointing a Guardian for your children
- To provide for your children if you have remarried
- To protect your loved ones in marriage and divorce
