If you haven’t written a will yet the government have written one for you – and it might not be the one you want.

Not writing a will means that the laws of intestacy apply and this means that the government decide who get what from your estate.

“Did you know that copies of wills are not legal? You must store your original signed and witnessed will somewhere safe. To avoid anyone trying to alter or destroy your will we recommend secure storage. This prevents intestacy and ensures your wishes are carried out exactly as you requested.”
