Wills

8 out of 10 people do not have a will and their belongings and property do not always go to the people they intend should receive them. Having your will drafted allows for your wishes to be carried out.

Your will has no legal effect while you are alive, and only becomes effective after you have died, so it must be kept safe. Making a will is the best way to avoid family feuds and unfair distribution of your assets.

Probate

Probate is the process for carrying out the wishes contained in a person's will. The process requires all the assets and debts a person has left behind to be determined. Tax may have to be paid depending on the value of a person's estate, before it can be given to the beneficiaries. Although the will may allow for the beneficiary to receive their gift free of tax.

Beneficiaries often include the spouse, children and other relatives and close friends of the deceased. The will appoints executors who are given the authority to carry out the wishes of the deceased who may also be the spouse, relative or solicitor of the deceased. Solicitors know exactly how to administer an estate and deal with the legal obligations executors have under a will.
