JUST HOW IMPORTANT IS IT THAT A PERSON HAVE A WILL, ANYWAY?
The Purposes of a Will
- To ensure that your wishes are clear and respected.
The Advantages of Having a Will
- You, rather than someone else, would decide what will be done with your belongings.
- Your family would be spared unnecessary complications.
Legal Services
- Professionally-drawn wills tend to be respected by people and avoid disputes.
What To Do
- Identify the people that you want to benefit.
- Decide the shares.
- Consider what should happen to the shares of beneficiaries who might die before you.
- Choose an executor.
- Choose an alternate executor.
- Talk with your loved ones.
- Talk with a lawyer.
We will help with any questions you might have.
