How To
How to make an estate plan with a lawyer
A will, which is an important legal document, determines who gets what upon your death. It contains instructions about how to pay debts and other financial obligations.
A solicitor (lawyer), should draft a will and have it signed by two witnesses. You can choose not to have a will if you want to leave everything to someone else without restrictions on how they use the money. This may cause problems later on, when you are unable consent to medical treatments or to decide where your loved ones live.
The state will appoint trustees for your estate until your death if you do not have one. This includes paying all your debts off and giving away any property. If there is no will, trustees will take over your home and distribute the proceeds to your beneficiaries. They may also charge fees to manage your estate.
A will is necessary for three reasons. Firstly, it protects your loved ones against being left penniless. It ensures your wishes are fulfilled after you pass away. Thirdly, it makes it easier for your executor (the person appointed to fulfill your wishes).
First, contact a lawyer to discuss your options. The cost of a will depends on whether you're single, married, or widowed. Not only can solicitors help you write a will but they can also advise you about other matters such:
-
Give gifts to your family
-
Choose guardians for your children
-
Loan repayments
-
Manage your affairs even while you're alive
-
Avoid probate
-
How to avoid capital gains taxes when you sell assets
-
What happens to your home when you die before you can sell it?
-
Who pays for funeral expenses?
You have two options: either you can write it yourself or you can ask a friend or relative for help. You cannot alter a will that you have signed at the request of another individual.
