Things to be aware of when making a Will

Whitebrook Wills - Friday, October 02, 2015

Advice on some of the issues that can arise:

·                     Make sure your executors are responsible people you trust and who know where to find your documents.  We can offer a cost effective, secure means of storage if required.

·                     Watch the wording you use. A general gift to ‘my children’ or ‘my grandchildren’ will only apply to biological children or grandchildren or those who have been legally adopted.

·                     Meet face to face with your Will writer and raise honest concerns, such as children who are bad with money.  Advice can only be given on what you disclose.

·                     Make sure the Will is signed and witnessed properly.

·                     Are there immediate family members that you are not including as a beneficiary of your will?  Get proper advice to help protect your estate against possible claims following your death.
