A will is a legal document that tells people what you want done with your things after your death. It can be very difficult emotionally to create a will, but it’s important that you do so – particularly if you have children or dependents. Without a will, you can’t tell people who will be in charge of administering your affairs after you’re gone – if you don’t decide this, then the Court will choose an executor on your behalf and this may be someone that you don’t want performing this important duty. Without a will you can’t decide how your things are divided, and a properly drawn up will can help with tax savings.
Any person over the age of majority can create a will with the help of a legal adviser.
