Most of us know we should write a Will, even if it isn't top of our to-do list. However, writing a Will is vital to securing your family's future in case the worst happens to you. It is a true gift to your family.
There are numerous benefits from writing a Will, among them:
1) Clarity and direction: A will provides clear instructions on how you want your assets distributed after you pass away. Without it, your loved ones may face unnecessary confusion and disputes over your estate, causing added unnecessary stress and perhaps argument, at the worst possible time.
2) Protecting your loved ones: Your will allows you to appoint the best guardians for your young children, ensuring they'll be cared for by someone you trust. Your money going to someone you don't like is one thing, your children being brought up by someone you don't trust is a disaster.
3) Financial security: Writing a will enables you to make provisions for your family's financial security. You can specify who receives what portion of your estate, ensuring your loved ones are taken care of according to your wishes.
4) Peace of mind: We cannot predict the future, which is why we have various insurances. We want the peace of mind of knowing that in the unlikely case of a fire or flood or car accident, we are protected from the very worst effects of these. A Will gives you peace of mind that even if the worst happens, your wishes will be carried out and your family protected and provided for.
The best time to write your Will was when the last major change occurred in your life, the second-best time is now. Get in touch here if it's time you wrote your Will.
