You know that you need to make a Will to help dispose of your assets when you die. However, living Wills are often overlooked and their importance forgotten, so it is vital that you consider these; Will writing solicitors in North Wales can help advise you.
Sometimes, living Wills are called advance decisions and are designed to put your wishes in place to deal with any medical treatment you may need if you become unwell. It is important to remember that those sorts of Wills only come into effect if you are deemed to not have the capacity to make decisions yourself.
One of the advantages of having a living Will is that it takes away the stress from your family or friends, so they do not have to make treatment decisions. You may also have very strong feelings about how you want to be treated in the event of you getting cancer, dementia or other terminal illnesses. Your exact wishes will be followed so you can have peace of mind.
There are several people who should be notified if you make a living Will. These include your GP and close relatives, as well as anyone else who may be impacted by your medical decisions. It is important to seek the advice of solicitors before drawing up the document.
