As the world comes to terms with the potential implications
of Covid-19, many are finding themselves forced to ask a number of difficult
questions. It can seem as if there is never a ‘good’ time to think about
preparing a final will and testament, though preparing for all possible
eventualities is important.
Ensuring you prepare a clear, complete and valid will isn’t
simply about getting your affairs in order. It’s also about looking after the
interests of your loved ones, in the event that the worst should happen.
The complexities and quarrels that can occur in the event of a deceased individual failing to appropriately allocate their assets can be immense. Even if it does not seem like an urgent priority right now, there’s no time like the present to consider the benefits of preparing a final will and testament.
Examples of which include the following:
1. Ensuring your intentions are understood
Without a will, it can be difficult or even impossible for your intentions to be accurately interpreted by your loved ones and those charged with distributing your assets. If you prepare a valid will in advance, you can rest assured that your intentions will be both understood and followed in the event of your death.
2. Protect your loved ones
Allocating assets is all about ensuring those you leave behind are sufficiently cared for in your absence. There are no assurances that this will be the case where a will hasn’t been prepared, as the decision as to how your assets are allocated is taken out of your hands. Hence, preparing a will is more about looking out for the best interests of your loved ones than for you personally.
3. Avoid subsequent disputes
Contrary to popular belief, it is not uncommon for the allocation of assets in the wake of a person’s death to be contested by one or more individuals. Under the terms of the 1965 Succession Act, every UK citizen has the right to file such a dispute, if they feel they have the right to do so. However, it becomes exponentially more difficult to successfully contest a will if it has been appropriately prepared and its viability assessed by an experienced legal representative.
4. Reduce inheritance tax
It isn’t always possible to avoid inheritance tax, though the financial pressure on your estate could be reduced significantly with strategic will preparation. The way you allocate and distribute your assets (both before and after your death) will impact the tax obligations of your beneficiaries. As this is a complex issue to address, it is best undertaken with the supervision and support of a trained solicitor.

Above all else, the preparation of a final will and testament is all about peace of mind – both for yourself and for your loved ones. Rather than putting things off until the last possible moment, it simply makes sense to ensure your intentions are formalised and your tax liabilities are understood at an earlier juncture. In doing so, you reduce the risk of complications and disputes at a later stage, which could make an already challenging time in life even more difficult to deal with.

Inheritance Tax is the tax on an estate of a person who has died. The estate includes everything the person owns (property, money & assets) and any property or money they had given as a gift in the seven years prior to death. If the estate’s value is £325,000 or below, no inheritance tax has […]
“Lifetime Gifts” are assets, property or money you give to someone during your lifetime. It is very popular in the UK. Some give away assets in order to reduce or avoid inheritance tax on their estate. Parents may give lifetime gifts to their children in order to help them financially or to help them climb […]
When should I instruct my solicitor? It is always advisable to instruct a solicitor before an offer has been accepted, in order to accelerate the transaction. Plus, it is worth remembering that most solicitors operate on a no move no fee basis, which means that you will not pay any more by contacting them at […]
