Making a Will is usually the first step to take in structuring your affairs to minimise your liability for Inheritance Tax.
A Will creates certainty; it reduces your worry and gives you the peace of mind of knowing exactly how your money, property and possessions will be dealt with after your death. A Will also guides those who are left behind, letting them know of your wishes. In this way it saves worry and heartache at a time of great emotional stress.
It is important that a Will is drafted after proper consideration of your finances and your personal circumstances. Such personal circumstances can include your family, your friends and their interrelationships between each other and with you.
Wills made without proper advice and consideration can leave your survivors with numerous risks unforeseen at the time of drafting.They cause unnecessary and avoidable stress; both emotional and financial.
