You don’t need a Will.
There’s no legal requirement to make one.
But if you die without a Will, it isn’t you who will have to deal with the consequences.
It could be your children. Your partner. Your friends. Your family. Or the people left trying to work out what you would have wanted.
The intestacy rules provide a legal framework for dealing with an estate when somebody dies without a Will, but they don’t know your family, your relationships or what’s important to you.
A Will allows you to make those decisions yourself.
It can help you decide who should inherit, who should look after your children, who you trust to deal with your estate and how you would like the people and causes that matter to you to be provided for.
So, no — you don’t need a Will.
But the people you leave behind might be very glad you made one.
If you’d like to discuss making or reviewing your Will, you can speak directly with a solicitor for a free initial consultation.
