Making a will should not be left until later in life. It offers security and getting it done does not have to be a complicated or stressful experience.

 

It can feel a little morbid to think about making a will, especially if you are still young but ironically death is most certainly a part of our lives and it is not going to go away simply because we wish it or because thinking about it can be upsetting. The best thing a person can do to minimise the stress and hurt of their death is make a will. This philosophy is appropriate to people of any age, whether you are thinking of retiring or if you are 22.

 

Making a will is putting a plan in place to protect those you love in the event of your death.

 

So what does a will actually do and what protection does it provide? Well a will covers several major points:

 

• Firstly it helps to deal with what happens to your property, assets and savings.
• Secondly it can cover important family details.
• Thirdly it covers what you will leave to which people, such as gifts for family and who gets the remainder of your estate.
• Fourthly it deals with who will be the executor of your estate. These are the people who make sure your wishes are dealt with.
• If you have children you can also specific guardians in your will.
• Lastly it covers any wishes you have such as specific about your funeral etc.

As you can see wills cover important information and not making one can leave things in a stressful state for your loved ones. Creating a will is much more simple and straight forward than you think.
