Having an up-to-date will is so important but less than half of people in the UK have one when they die. Without an up-to-date will, family and friends could well be faced with a financial and legal muddle; and the State could take everything. Those you may have wished to benefit like friends and good causes may end up with nothing.
A will is a uniquely personal document - your way of knowing that your final wishes will be carried out. It will ensure that those closest to you are provided for and - should you wish - support causes you care about.
Many people don’t have a will because they think it’s too expensive, or simply forget to get one drawn up. But it’s simpler and cheaper than you think. Using plain everyday language, this guide has been specially written to make the process easy and painless.
