FAQs: Will Writing Services
What happens if I die without making a will?
If you die without having a will (known as dying intestate), your estate will be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not reflect your wishes or appropriately provide for your family. By making a proper will, you can ensure your assets are distributed exactly as intended.
Can I update or change my will at a later date?
Yes, you can update your will whenever your circumstances or wishes change. It’s recommended to regularly review and update your will, particularly after significant life events such as marriage, divorce, birth of a child or grandchildren, or acquiring substantial new assets.
What is a mirror will and who is it suitable for?
A mirror will is essentially two individual wills made by partners or spouses that reflect each other’s wishes, typically leaving assets to the survivor and, thereafter, to their children or other designated beneficiaries. Mirror wills are ideal for couples or those in civil partnerships wishing to ensure their joint wishes and individual interests are clearly expressed.
Can I include charitable donations in my will?
Absolutely. Including a charitable gift or donations within your will is straightforward and can have tax advantages by reducing inheritance tax liabilities. Many individuals choose to leave a legacy to charities close to their heart, supporting causes they value while potentially benefiting their estate.
Who should I choose as executor of my will?
Your executor should be someone you trust implicitly, as they will be responsible for distributing your estate according to your wishes. You may choose a family member, friend, or a trusted professional who can effectively manage the responsibilities, particularly in complex or large estates.
