Why should I create a will?
A will gives you the opportunity to indicate how and to whom your assets are to be distributed after your death. If you die without a will, your assets may not end up with the people you would have wanted them to. A will allows you:
- Decide who gets your assets and property — and who doesn’t
- Save time, money, and stress for your loved ones
- Lower the potential for family disputes
- Determine who will manage your estate (the executor)
- Nominate the person/institution to administer any testamentary trust (the trustee)
- Choose who will take care of your minor children
- Provide instructions for your funeral
- Protection and management of your assets
- Ensure your estate is set up in a tax-efficient way
- If you’re a business owner, to ensure the business succession is in place so that your business continues to run smoothly
-
