About Making a Will

Why make a Will?

• It ensures your wishes are carried out.

• It makes things easier for the people you leave behind.

• Without one, the law decides who inherits (known as intestacy).

Key things to consider:

• Executors – the people you choose to carry out your wishes.

• Costs – a basic Will is often affordable, sometimes free during our Make a Will month.

• Tax benefits – gifts to charities, like Saint Michael’s, are usually free of Inheritance Tax and may reduce the tax due on the rest of your estate.

• Updating your Will – it can be wise to review it if your circumstances change.
