There are many misconceptions about Wills so it is important that you know the facts and legalities surrounding producing these documents. Your Wills solicitors in North Wales will be able to help you to sort facts from fictions.
For example, many people believe that if they do not have any blood relatives, they cannot make a Will. This is untrue and you can leave your assets to anyone you want to from close friends to a much-loved charity. If you do not make a Will, your estate could be left to the crown in the event of your death.
It is a commonly held belief that if you have a power of attorney, this is in fact the same as having a Will. This is incorrect and these are two very separate and different documents and having a power of attorney in place does not mean that your assets will be dealt with in line with your wishes.
Solicitors in North Wales will be able to offer valuable advice and dispel myths about Wills; it is often thought that you cannot leave money or other valuables to minors. This is completely untrue and you can, if you choose, leave assets to those under the age of eighteen.
Using professional solicitors will help making your Will easier, and will also ensure your exact wishes are written down in a legal and binding way.
