A Will – sometimes called a Last Will and Testament – is a legal document that sets out what should happen to your estate (such as your money, property, possessions and investments) after you die. It also gives you the chance to name guardians for your children and leave specific gifts or wishes, like funeral preferences or charitable donations.
For a Will to be valid, you'll need to name at least one executor – someone you trust to carry out the instructions in your Will. This could be a friend, family member, or even a solicitor. Most people choose two, just in case one isn’t available when the time comes.
Without a valid Will, your estate will be shared out according to the rules of intestacy – and that might not reflect what you would have wanted. Making a Will ensures the people (or causes) you care about are provided for, and it makes things much easier for your loved ones during an already difficult time.
