Why Writing a Will Is One of the Most Important Things You’ll Ever Do

At Prestige Wills and Trusts, we speak to families every week who have been left to deal with uncertainty, stress, and even legal battles – simply because a loved one passed away without a valid will. It’s a situation that can be easily avoided with the right planning.


 

Many people delay writing a will, thinking it's only necessary in later life. But the truth is, everyone over the age of 18 who owns property, has children, or any savings should have a will in place. It's not just about money – it’s about peace of mind, protection, and ensuring your wishes are respected.


 




What Is a Will?


 

A will is a legally binding document that allows you to:








        • Decide who should inherit your money, property, and possessions.


           





 

 





        • Appoint guardians for your children (if they are under 18).


           





 

 





        • Leave specific gifts or donations to friends, charities, or causes.


           





 

 





        • Provide instructions for your funeral or how your estate should be managed.


           





 

 





        • Appoint trusted executors to carry out your wishes.


           





 

 

Without a will, you are considered to have died intestate, meaning your estate will be distributed according to government rules – which may not reflect your actual wishes.


 




❗ What Happens If You Don’t Write a Will?


If you pass away without a will:








        • The law decides who inherits – not you.


           





 

 





        • Unmarried partners, stepchildren, and close friends won’t inherit anything automatically.


           





 

 





        • Your family may face costly delays, stress, and even disputes during probate.


           





 

 





        • The wrong people may gain control over your estate or minor children.


           





 

 

These outcomes can tear families apart. That’s why writing a will is not just an act of planning — it’s an act of love and responsibility.
