It is estimated that every day 2000 people*
die in this country and most of them leave their families with all the problems of INTESTACY which means dying
without having a legally valid Will.
In this event the Law of Intestacy means that the State writes
a Will for you with your possessions being distributed according to this law.
Most people wrongly assume that all their possessions automatically
pass to their husband or wife.
In reality
only a portion will pass directly (see table below) often leading
to financial hardship with even the family home at risk.
Would you want your partner or family to face this
unnecessary difficulty at a time of great distress?
Without a Will you miss the chance to pass on particular
gifts to friends or charities.
If you have a young family would you not like a say
in who may have to look after them?
Would you prefer to choose
the friends or relatives who you would be able to carry out your instructions as you would wish.
