If you don't have a Will, what happens?

If you die without a Will, your assets are frozen while the court looks over your estate and decides who will get the assets you own, which is time-consuming and stressful for your loved ones, but easy to avoid.

Your money and possessions

Everything will be divided amongst your living relatives which could lead to family feuds or a delay in appointing an executor to administer the estate.

Your children

The court will decide who will care for your children, and the money apportioned to them will go to the Guardian's Fund until they turn 18.

When is the right time to draft a Will?

If you have children or dependants with special needs or a spouse or partner that relies on you, or own a business or a property or are nearing retirement, a Will serves as your voice after your death.
