Wills Have you made a Will? A Will is the document which becomes effective on death and stipulates how a person's estate is to be dealt with. Without a Will, a person's estate can become muddled, expensive to administer and, unfortunately, go to persons the deceased would not have wanted. In a Will you can: - a)  Appoint executors: these are responsible adult persons to carry the burden of administering the estate and dealing with all the paperwork. We will happily act should you so wish. b)  Appoint guardians for young children. These are responsible caring people to bring up your children should you die before they are adults. c)  Make specific gifts of cash, property and items of furniture and jewellery.

d)  Make provisions for other people to benefit in case the people you initially benefit die before you.

e)  Look to reduce the tax burden on your estate.

f)  Make sure all your family are catered for to reduce the possibility of claims on your estate and prevent disputes arising after you are gone.

g)  Establish a trust for young children to ensure they do not go without cash, especially for educational purposes. This is without allowing them to take the money for their own purposes, until such time as they are old enough to handle it properly.

h)  Make provision should you and your spouse or partner die at the same time.
