WHY SHOULD I MAKE A WILL?

You probably don’t need us to tell you that you need to write a Will.

There are many reasons why a Will is very important, from protecting property, appointing guardians for your children, making sure loved ones, friends and charities receive something upon your death.

Besides this, a Will is also the foundation to all good financial and estate planning.
