Your Will tells everyone what should happen to your money, possessions and property after you die (all these things together are called your 'estate'). If you do not have a Will you have no say over what happens to your estate when you die, and this will cause problems for those you care about most. 

 

It is a common belief that, if you are married or in a civil partnership, your spouse or civil partner will automatically inherit everything you own when you die. In fact, the law sets out rules that determine how your estate is to be divided if you should die without leaving a Will. If you don’t have a Will when you die, your assets will be shared out according to the law instead of your wishes. This can mean they pass to someone you hadn’t intended – it doesn’t matter what your relationship with those people was like when you were alive. The law is intended to be fair but it is unlikely to suit most people. 

 

By leaving a will that says clearly who should get your estate when you die, you can prevent unnecessary distress at an already difficult time for your family or friends.
