Why should you will - the importance of your Will to you
A will is the only way of ensuring that what you want to occur after your death does happen, protecting the future of family, friends and charities such as Mountain Rescue. If you die without a will (intestate) the law decides how your money will be divided and this might be not be as you had envisaged. Your estate might even end up in the hands of the Crown. When you have a Will you should review it every two years and especially following any major event as it could have become invalid. For example, if you marry or remarry, or if a partner dies or you get divorced. Also if children or grandchildren come along, you will probably want them to be included in your will. An up-to-date will ensures that your estate is passed onto the people and charities that you choose.
