With a view to getting your affairs in order, it is fundamentally important to understand the minimum requirements for a Will in Braintree. Therefore, this is something that Laura Richardson now looks to explain in this article . . .

It may surprise you to know that there is no minimum financial requirement when it comes to writing your Will in Braintree or anywhere else throughout the UK. You can write a Will even if you do not currently have any belongings, property or cash! Life can be unpredictable and your financial status can, in some circumstances, change very quickly for better or for worse. Therefore, at Andrew Douglas Wills and Legal Services, we advise that everyone over the age of 18 should make a Will in Braintree or anywhere else throughout Essex regardless of their current financial status. It may be the case that you do not own anything of great financial worth, however most of us have belongings of sentimental value that we would wish to be passed on to a certain loved one or friend.

Regardless of your financial status it is also important to consider that, sadly, some lives are cut short sometimes instantly, or with very little warning. Whilst it is not pleasant to contemplate our own death, it is important to ensure that however little you may own, your belongings will be passed on to the person or persons of your choosing. Without a valid Will, it is up to the UK court to decide who will receive your assets and belongings.

Once you have made your Will in Braintree or anywhere else throughout Essex, it is advisable to review your Will periodically to ensure that it accurately reflects your current wishes. There are also several life events, following which, it is important that you review your Will. Some such life events include, having a child, the purchase of property, the purchase of a high value asset, marriage, separation or divorce, or any major change in your financial status.
