It is a very good idea to let family members or close friends know of your wishes in the event of your death or incapacitation. The best way to do this is by way of a will, but sometimes this can be made clearer by writing a letter of wishes. In our experience, family members and friends who are well-informed find dealing with bereavement less stressful and find it easier to deal with the affairs of the deceased. Having a will and a solicitor to deal with your affairs simply makes things much easier for those left behind, even if you don’t have much wealth. This is particularly true when it comes to property matters. We always do our very best to help in these circumstances, but there’s no substitute for having a plan in place.
Do I need a will?
