Single Will

Overview

Whether you are in a relationship or not, making a single Will is important to ensure your estate passes to the people of your choice, rather than leaving it to the rules of intestacy. A single Will is ideal for people who are single, separated, divorced, widows or for couples who want to leave their estate differently.

What does a single Will cover

• Choose who will deal with your estate when you die.
• Choose who will be appointed to look after your children when you die, if under the age of 18.
• Appoint Trustees to look after inheritance for any children when you die, if under the age of 18.
• Give details of who you wish to leave your assets to when you die.
• Give specific gifts or items to certain people when you die.
• Appoint a guardian and make specific wishes for any pets.
• Detail any specific funeral wishes.
