Making a will does not have to be a complicated affair.

Quite simply, a will ensures that, on death, our assets are distributed in the way that we want them to be.

By not making a legal and valid will, we run the risk of our assets not being distributed as we would wish. No matter how simple your affairs may seem or whatever age you are, a will ensures that your wishes are set out clearly so that on your death your assets will go to the people you want them to go to. If you have young children, you can also appoint guardians in your will to look after them should you die before they reach 18.

Although a standard will might meet the needs of a small number of people, most would benefit from the more specialist advice and planning provided by White House Will Writing and Estate Planning. This is because most people are not aware of the threats from government and local authorities, or even certain family situations, to the assets that they have worked so hard to gain and which standard wills may not protect against.
