If you're considering writing a Will or looking to update your current Will, it's advisable you seek professional advice. An experienced Wills solicitor will make sure it's valid and resolve any issues that could potentially cause problems for your family members after you die.
Before you approach a solicitor, here are some of the things you'll need to prepare:
1) A list of everything you own including property, personal valuables, stocks and shares, bank accounts, pensions etc.
2) Who you want to leave your assets to and whether there are any conditions you want to attach to them. e.g children must reach a certain age before they can access their inheritance fund.
3) Details of your family members or dependents and their status.
4) If you have any children under 18 when you die, you will need to name the person who is their legal guardian.
5) Any additional conditions or wishes. This could be particular to your funeral or whether you are an organ donor.
6) Naming the executors of your will. These are the people, with their consent, who will administer your will after your death. You may wish to appoint a solicitor as your executor.
A Will should be drawn up if your personal circumstances change especially if your marital status changes, if you are buying your first home or starting a family.
