Valuing the estate of someone who died

More information

Why make a will now?

Many people delay making a will, assuming everything will pass automatically. In practice, delaying can leave families with uncertainty and outcomes you never intended.

Peace of mind for your family

A clear will can make administration simpler for executors, reduce misunderstanding between relatives, and give confidence that your instructions will be followed.

Who should have a will?

Anyone with dependants, property, savings, business interests, or specific wishes should have a will. It is a practical safeguard for family and financial clarity. In short - everyone should have a will.

What happens without one?

If you die intestate, statutory rules determine who inherits and in what shares. This process can be slower, more complex, and not aligned to your preferences.
