Don’t Have A Will? Get One For Free!

Death is an uncomfortable topic, but it is an unavoidable part of life. And While you can’t plan for what happens at the end, you can ensure that your loved ones and assets are taken care of when you are no longer there.

You may be wondering if you really need a will or think that you don’t have enough assets to constitute getting one. But what if you don’t have a valid will?

Would you want your property, valuables or family heirlooms to end up with some distant relative you may dislike? No right?

Luckily there is a way to avoid this. Put it in your will!

The Importance of Having A Valid Will

The importance of having a will cannot be stressed enough. If you die without leaving a valid will, your estate will devolve according to the laws of intestate succession. This means that your closest blood relatives will inherit your assets, even if you don’t like them!

Therefore, you should stipulate the way you want your assets to be distributed to ensure that your assets and personal possessions end up with those you wish to inherit.

Having a will in place also reduces the stress of your loved ones left behind, as the legal process to wind up your estate is expedited. You can also stipulate who you want the Executor/Executrix of your estate to be so that you can be sure that it’s someone who you trust.

But a will does more than divide your assets. As a parent, you can appoint a guardian to care for your children’s interests and stipulate conditions surrounding their inheritance.

There are no disadvantages in having a will, and you’re never too young to have one!
