It’s not a topic we like to think about, but at some point, we all will pass away. And when that happens, it’s important to have a plan in place for our loved ones. That’s why making a will is such an important legal task. A will is a legally binding document that outlines your wishes for what should happen to your estate after you die. Without a will, the state will make those decisions for you - and your family will have to go through the courts to sort everything out. That can be a long and expensive process. But if you take the time now to make an effective will, you can save your family not only stress but money in what will undoubtedly be a difficult time for them.

Of course, wills are just one part of estate planning. You may also want to consider giving someone power of attorney or creating a trust. And no matter what your plans are, it’s always best to consult with a legal professional to ensure that everything is airtight. At Williams & Lay, we specialise in wills and estate planning. We can help you determine what’s best for your situation and then draw up the necessary documents to ensure your wishes are fulfilled.
