Question: Why do I need to make a will?
Answer: Here are some of the reasons why... which one is yours?
To reduce or eliminate inheritance tax on my assets
To stop the council using my home to pay for care fees after I die if my spouse is taken into care
To appoint a guardian to care for my young children
To make a financial provision for my children's future welfare
My partner and I have separate children and I don't want mine to lose out
To make sure there are no arguments in the family
So my spouse's family don't get everything if we die together
We're unmarried and neither will get anything when the other dies I don't want the goverment to decide who gets what
To prevent my home from being sold while someone still needs it
To make provision for my friends, favourite charities or pets
