Wills
- The Importance of Making a Will
Most
people consider making a Will during their lifetime
without actually arranging for a legally valid Will
to be prepared
Do
you need a Will? Yes
- if you care about who benefits from your property
and assets after your death, then you need to make

that the State determines who gets what, if anything,
from your assets when you die. Your friends, your

your property was in joint names before your death
or if your partner goes to Court)
