Wills
Writing a will can give you and your loved ones peace of mind when it comes to how your estate will be handled following your death.
As soon as you have assets (e.g., a home, money in the bank) or have your first child, you should consider having a will prepared. To write a will you must be over 18 and have the mental capacity to understand the nature and context.

What is a will?
A will is a legal document that states your wishes on how your estate will be handled upon your death. It can include (but is not limited to):
- Your funeral
- Who will receive your assets such as property, money, personal possessions, investments, and anything else owned by you
- Who will manage your affairs after your death and ensure your wishes are carried out
- Who will look after you children (if applicable)
Wills are important documents that require careful review should there be any changes in personal circumstances.
What happens if you die without a will?
This is referred to as dying intestate, and in these situations, the law determines who will inherit your estate. Unfortunately, it is not possible to control or override who inherits in these situations as the law must be followed. This means that certain individuals you don’t choose could stand to inherit, and those you wish to inherit may receive nothing.
Why write a will?
The primary purpose of writing a will is protecting your assets for your loved ones.
If you don’t have a will, the division of your assets is in the hands of the law. Writing a will can also help avoid unnecessary hardship and stress for those who are already dealing with the loss of a loved one.
