MAKING A WILL
What is a will?
A will is a legal document that allows you to state what should happen to your assets (your money, property, investments, and possessions) as well as your young children after you have passed away.
Is the will just for you or you and your partner?
A basic will for a single person is known as a single will and is best for people who want to record their own individual wishes.
If your wishes are very similar to someone else's (typically your partner or spouse) then you may want to make standard mirror wills together.
What happens if I die without making a will?
If you die without having made a Will, the government will decide what happens to your assets.
If you have no living family members, all your property and possessions will go to the Crown.
If you have children under 18 years old, other people can make decisions about who will take care of the children and manage their finances, education and living arrangements.
By making a will you can specify your wishes.
