WILL WRITING

Have you made a Will?

Writing a Will ensures that your wishes on what happens to your money, possessions and property after you die are carried out.  Not having a Will means that the law decides how your estate is handled and this might not be in line with your wishes.  Making a Will is easy to do and makes it easier for your family and friends to sort things our after your death which avoids unnecessary distress for them at an already difficult time.

Preparation is key to help deal with the ups and downs as well as the end of life
