Description
Plan ahead, protect your loved ones
Making a will is planning ahead for the future, a move that protects the interests of your loved ones. Some compelling reasons for making a will are:
• It allows you to decide who will benefit from your estate and the proportions you want them to receive. Without a will, your assets will be distributed according to the law and certain people who are dependent on you may not receive anything.
• You can appoint the person or people who will handle your affairs after death.
• Your beneficiaries will be able to inherit your assets with less hassle and in quicker time than if you had left no will.
• Writing a will is considerably cheaper than leaving matters to the course of the law, which can lead to bureaucratic red tape and costly delays.
• It minimises the prospect of a long, legal tussle and complications that can arise.
• The law allows you to make a will and in doing so, you are exercising a basic right.
This book takes you through the steps involved in making a will. It also presents case studies that illustrate the importance of this document.
