Why make a Will?
Making a Will is very important. However it is unfortunately forgotten or just delayed. If you do not make a will and die, then you are dying "intestate" were the government and the law will determine what happens to your estate, instead of you, and this is not always what you think or what you would expect it will be.
Not having a Will can cause increased stress, confusion, arguments, and extortionate legal fees for your loved ones, which you can avoid.
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 debts which are outstanding.
Requirements for a valid Will
- Must be made by a person who is 18 years old or older.
- Made voluntarily without any pressure or duress from any other
person.
- Made by a person who is of sound mind. This means the person must be fully
aware of the nature of the document being written and aware of the property
and the identify of the people who will inherit.
- Must be in writing.
- Signed by the person making the will in the presence of two
witnesses.
- Signed by the two witnesses, in the presence of the person making the
will.
Please Note:
- The two witnesses cannot benefit or inherit under the will. If they do then they forfeit their inheritance. Also the witnesses can not be directly related to a beneficiary.
- The will should be dated but can still be valid if not. Problems can arise
if there is more than one will.
- Remember to change your last will and testament if your circumstances change, i.e. you’re marriage status changes.
