Why It's Important
Making a Will is very important and sadly often neglected. When you die without a Will, then you are dying "intestate" where the government and the law determine what happens to your estate, instead of you.
This is not always, what you would think or expect as your spouse may not get everything automatically and unmarried couples having more uncertainty unless there is a Will. Some people think that having a joint bank account means the other person will automatically get the money. This is not the case. When the bank is informed that one of you has died, they freeze the account.
Not having a Will can cause increased stress, confusion, arguments, and extortionate legal fees for your loved ones. You can make the decision to avoid that now.
Even when you do not have many assets to speak of, this will save your loved ones a lot of time, money and hassle. If you have property, bank accounts and/or any type of investments, then having a last will and testament is extremely advisable. This last will and testament allows you to control your estate when you die.
Your estate is the total assets you have accumulated over the course of your life. This is the total sum of possessions, property and money at the time of your death less any outstanding debts.
Tax Planning
This last will and testament was designed for individuals who do not need any tax planning. To decide this you will need to know your inheritance tax exemption limits. This will help you to decide at what stage the benefits exceed the cost of tax planning.
The 2013/2014 inheritance tax exemption threshold is £325,000 for an individual, which doubles to £650,000 when you are married. Estates worth less than the threshold will normally have no inheritance tax to pay, making tax planning redundant.
In addition, when you and your spouse/partner are joint tenants in a property, the property is taken out of the equation and is not included in the calculation of your estate for inheritance tax purposes.
What Can You Do With This Will
