Writing a Will is an important part of ensuring loved ones Will receive the assets you want them to in the event of your death. Adding specific pieces of information to the document Will make sure that the instructions you leave are properly carried out.
One of the most important pieces of information which your Will should contain is the sum total of your assets. This can range from money in the bank, to property and other goods such as jewellery and your household items.
You should then very clearly state who you want to receive which items. You can be very specific as to who gets what, but you should also consider what happens to their legacy if they die before you do. Many people also choose to specify amounts of money to be set aside to cover funeral costs or other expenses such as unpaid taxes.
Your chosen executor must be named in your Will but it is advisable to tell them beforehand so they understand the responsibilities which come with this role. Other points which may be added to a Will, if relevant, include naming guardians of your children under the age of eighteen who may be orphaned if you die.
