What is a Will.

A will is a legal document that names the people you want to receive the items you own, your property and possessions, after you die.

These people are known as your beneficiaries. Your property and possessions include everything you own: your home, land, car, money in bank accounts, insurance policies, shares, jewellery, pictures, furniture, and so on.

Making a will is the only way you can ensure your assets will be distributed in the way you want after you die.

• You can direct where you wish your property and assets to go
• You can make provisions if necessary for your personal effects, etc.
• If you do not specify special gifts your estate will be divided equally between the beneficiaries that you nominate.
• It is important that you choose someone you know and trust to administer your estate otherwise. Without a will you do not have that choice
• If your children are under 18 you will need to appoint a guardian
• There is a possibility that you can avoid costly and lengthy estate litigation.

What happens if I do not make a Will.

The legal procedures are more complicated and time consuming and may cause expense, worry and even hardship to your family.

The law provides a formula which sets out who is entitled to the property of a deceased person who does not leave a will. The formula may not distribute your assets in the way you would have wanted.

It is not true that the Government takes a deceased person’s property if there is no will. This can happen only in exceptional cases where there are no close relatives or persons in a family relationship surviving the deceased.
