Having a Will in place gives you the comfort of knowing that whenever you die, the distribution of your property is taken care of as YOU want it to be. We do not know the day or hour of our death and thinking that “I have time” is definitely an unnecessarily risky approach. Preparing a Will takes a short time, especially when using this online service, and will save your loved ones a lot of uncertainty, hassle, conflict and disappointment.

If you die without a Will, it is quite likely that there will be problems in identifying and sharing your estate, and more importantly, it may not be shared how you want it to be. The ‘law of intestacy’ will determine how your property will be shared and it is more than likely not exactly how you would choose for your property to be shared. A Will gives everyone certainty about your wishes.

Please don’t think that because you have no property right now that you should not have a Will right now. If your Will is in place now for “all your property”, then whenever you do acquire property your Will is going to apply to that property. Also, you don’t want to take the chance of dying soon after acquiring property and not having had the time to do a Will. It is better to have a Will all the time. And what if you die as a result of somebody’s wrongdoing? It means that your estate could sue the wrongdoer and end up with quite a bit of money that becomes your property under your Will! Additionally, you can update your Will throughout your life as you acquire (or lose) property.

Don’t delay. Have a Will in place today.
