How To
How to make a Will with a Lawyer
A will is an important legal document determining who gets what after you die. It contains instructions about how to pay debts and other financial obligations.
A solicitor (lawyer), and two witnesses should sign a will. You have the option to opt not to create a will if everything is to be left to someone else, with no restrictions on how they spend it. This can cause problems later, if you are unable or unwilling to consent to medical treatment.
If you do not have a will, the state will appoint trustees to manage your estate until you die. This includes paying all of your debts and donating any property that you have. The trustees can sell your home or distribute the proceeds to your beneficiaries if you do not have a will. They may charge a fee to manage your estate.
There are three main reasons why you need to draw up a will. Firstly, it protects your loved ones against being left penniless. It also ensures that your wishes will be carried out even after your death. Thirdly, it makes life easier for your executor (appointed person to carry out your wishes).
To discuss your options, the first step is to reach out to a solicitor. The cost of a will varies depending on whether you are single, married, or widowed. Not only can solicitors help you write a will but they can also advise you about other matters such:
-
Make gifts for family members
-
Guardianship of children
-
Loan repayments
-
Managing your affairs while you are alive
-
Avoid probate
-
How to avoid capital losses tax when selling assets
-
What happens if your home isn't sold before you die?
-
Who pays for funeral expenses?
You have the option of writing your will by yourself or asking a relative or friend to do it for you. Remember, however, that if you sign a will at the request of another person, you cannot change it afterward.
