How To
How to make your will with a lawyer
A will, which is an important legal document, determines who gets what upon your death. It also contains instructions regarding how to pay any financial debts.
A solicitor (lawyer), should draft a will and have it signed by two witnesses. If you wish to leave everything to someone without any restrictions as to how they use it, you can choose to not make awill. This may cause problems later on, when you are unable consent to medical treatments or to decide where your loved ones live.
The state will appoint trustees for your estate until your death if you do not have one. This includes paying all your debts off and giving away any property. If there is no will, trustees will take over your home and distribute the proceeds to your beneficiaries. They may charge a fee to manage your estate.
There are three main reasons to make a will. Firstly, it protects your loved ones against being left penniless. It ensures your wishes are fulfilled after you pass away. It also makes it easier to designate an executor (person who will carry out your wishes).
First, contact a lawyer to discuss your options. The cost of a Will will differ depending on whether the person is single, married, widowed, or divorced. Not only can solicitors help you write a will but they can also advise you about other matters such:
-
Gifts to family members
-
Guardianship of children
-
Lending money
-
Manage your affairs even while you're alive
-
Avoid probate
-
How to avoid capital gains Tax when selling assets
-
What happens to your home when you die before you can sell it?
-
Who pays for funeral costs
You have the option of writing your will by yourself or asking a relative or friend to do it for you. But remember, if someone asks you to sign a Will, you cannot modify it later.
