Why it’s vital you make a will

If you’re an adult, then you should make a will – its as simple as that. Especially if your circumstances change. That means if you: Get married , have children , get divorced.

And here’s why its so important. If you don’t make a will, the people you want to benefit may not- and people you don’t want to receive anything could do very well indeed….

The table on your left shows how the legal system in England and Wales would split your estate if you died without a valid will:

The Law of Intestacy (the Will that no one really wants) is applied to all Estates where no valid Will is evident. See below how this affects you.
