10 reasons to make a will

• You can decide how your assets are shared - if you don't have a will, the law says who gets what.
• If you're an unmarried couple (whether or not it's a same-sex relationship) you can make sure your partner is provided for.
• If you are in a second relationship you can make sure your children from both relationships are provided for.
• If you're divorced, you can decide whether to leave anything to your former partner.
• You can make sure you don't pay more Inheritance Tax than necessary.
• You can decide how your assets are shared out - if you don't make a will, the law says who gets what.
• If you aren't married or in a civil partnership (whether or not it's a same sex relationship) your partner will not inherit automatically - you can make sure your partner is provided for.
• If you're divorced or if your civil partnership has been dissolved you can decide whether to leave anything to an ex-partner who's living with someone else.
• At an emotional time for those you leave behind, you can ensure that professionals are on hand to help and above all enjoy peace of mind.
