Secure Your Future: The Importance of Updating or Creating Your Will

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to overlook the significance of having a will. New research has revealed that over half (52%) of UK adults over 30 don’t have a will, and an additional 13% who do have a will admit that it needs updating. These statistics underscore the critical need to take action and ensure your affairs are in order, no matter your age.

Why You Should Have a Will

A will is not just for those later in life; it’s a crucial way to protect your wishes, no matter your age. It ensures that your assets are distributed according to your desires and that your loved ones are taken care of. Additionally, having a will can help prevent disputes among family members and reduce the stress on your loved ones during a difficult time.

Who needs a will?

If you’re an adult in the UK, you probably need a will. An up-to-date, well-drafted Will is essential if you have children, own a house or have a pension.

If you die without a Will, any assets that belonged to you must be distributed according to the strict rules of intestacy – which may not be how you expect or would want your estate to be shared. It can be hugely distressing for loved ones. As long as you’re at least 18 years old, it’s never too early to make your will.
