Legacies
What is a Legacy?
A legacy is a gift made in your Will, usually to another person or to a Charity. It can be a share of your estate, a sum of money or an item of property, such as a house. To leave a legacy you need to have a valid Will.
What is a Will?
A Will is a legal document setting out how you wish your estate to be divided on your death. It is a simple, low cost way to arrange your affairs. To be safe, a Will is best written for you by a solicitor, who will ensure it is correctly witnessed and valid.
Why make a Will?
If you die without a Will you can cause real problems for your loved ones. It will also cost more money to sort things out. A valid Will puts you in control of your affairs and gives you peace of mind. It could be time to act, if your will is not up to date.
