A will is a legally binding document that sets out your wishes for what should happen to your money, property, possessions, and even your dependants after you pass away.

A properly crafted will provides security, clarity, and peace of mind for both you and your family. Here’s how it protects what matters most.
Your will lets you clearly specify who should receive your home, savings, personal items, or family heirlooms. This helps prevent confusion, disputes, or unintended outcomes.
If you have children under 18, your will is where you can legally name guardians — trusted people who would look after them if you’re no longer around.
An executor is the person you trust to carry out the instructions in your will. By choosing your executors, you know your affairs will be handled responsibly and fairly.
Losing a loved one is hard enough. A clear, legally valid will makes the process of settling your estate smoother, faster, and less stressful for those you leave behind.
Without a will, the law follows strict rules which might not reflect modern family situations — meaning unmarried partners or stepchildren could be left with nothing. A will ensures everyone you care about is included.
You can also use your will to leave gifts or donations to charities and community organisations you value, creating a lasting legacy.

If you die without a will (intestate), the law decides how your estate is distributed according to strict rules. This may not reflect your wishes and could leave out people you care about, such as unmarried partners or stepchildren. It can also cause delays and additional costs for your family.
Keep your original will in a safe place and tell your executor where to find it. Good options include with your solicitor, in a bank safe deposit box, or with the Probate Registry. Make sure to give copies to your executors and keep a copy at home in a secure location.
An executor is responsible for carrying out the instructions in your will. Choose someone you trust who is organised, responsible, and willing to take on the role. This could be a family member, friend, or professional like a solicitor. You can appoint up to four executors.
