The importance of writing a will
By making a will, you can take advantage of various tax planning strategies to minimise the amount of inheritance tax that your beneficiaries will have to pay. For example, you can make use of tax exemptions and reliefs, such as the nil-rate band, the residence nil-rate band, and charitable donations.
Reducing the amount of inheritance tax owed by your beneficiaries, means you can be sure that more of your assets go to the people you care about. This can help provide greater financial security for your loved ones and ensure that your legacy continues to have a positive impact long after you’ve gone.
Writing a will has several additional benefits. Firstly, it enables you to decide who will inherit your estate such as your property, savings, investments and belongings.
Furthermore, a will allows you to protect the interests of your loved ones, especially if you have dependents or family members with special needs, appointing legal guardians for minor children protecting assets for children form a prior relationship. By outlining your wishes in a will, you can ensure that your beneficiaries receive the support and care they need.-
