Making a Will helps you take control of what happens to your assets once you have died. If you do not make a Will, you will die intestate, which means a court of law will choose who manages your estate.
There is a priority order of people who may be chosen to do this, which normally starts with a spouse but could, in the event of having no-one else suitable, be given to your creditors. Your Wills solicitors in North Wales can advise you on this issue.
There could be different classes of recipients of your assets according to the courts of law if you die without a Will. These could include children and spouses but also even grandparents and brothers and sisters. An estranged spouse may also become a beneficiary even if you are in the process of a divorce. If this process has not been finalised before you die, they may be entitled to inherit.
If you want to manage who gets your property, you must make your own Will and specify who gets what. Will writing solicitors in North Wales can support you to think about your assets and to carefully consider who you want to be a beneficiary and what you want them to have out of your estate. This will give you peace of mind and enable you to make your own decisions about what you own.
