It is imperative that you make a Will to ensure your assets go to the people you wish to benefit. Having a Will ensures that you have executors that you can trust appointed to carry out the instructions of the Will.
This can also ensure you get relevant tax benefits for your estate.
You should have a valid Will produced by a legal practitioner to ensure your instructions are accurately documented and followed. A ‘do- it-yourself’ Will may be invalid if it is ambiguous.
If your circumstances change it is important to update your Will. For example, when you get married your Will may become invalid, but it will not be invalid in the case of separation or divorce.
