According to a National newspaper there are around 30 million people in the UK without a will.
What could happen if a tragedy occurred and there was no will in place?
About 25% of adults think it’s something to leave until you are older. About 10% believe their estate will automatically go to the right people. About 50% of married couples do not have a will.
There are lots of TV programs showing people searching for heirs to estates – and often it is an unknown distant relative – or the government - who inherits, rather than the close friend or carer or even partner whom the monies may have been morally intended for.
Get your wishes down on paper – so everyone is clear.
With a properly prepared will, you can ensure that what you own and what you’ve saved goes to those you choose.
