Avoid dying Intestate, write your Will in Chelmsford

When it comes to writing your Will in Chelmsford or anywhere else in Essex, citizens advice have found the number of queries about people dying intestate (i.e. those that die without a valid Will in place) has doubled in the last 5 years.

Therefore, it is Andrew Douglas Wills and Legal Services belief the increase in such queries highlighted the complex and occasionally distressing situations families find themselves in when their loved one dies without having a valid Will in place. By way of illustration, along with registering the death and organising the funeral, the bereaved’s family have to deal with many practical problems.

Additionally, there is also a need to deal with the matter of access to bank accounts and finances in particular. For example, bills still need to be paid and, at least in the short term, the price of a funeral.

At the same time, however, there is a need to note that the obvious consequence of not making a Will in Chelmsford or any other location is the distribution of your assets. By way of illustration, you may think that your assets will simply go to both your spouse and your children anyway. However, many people fail to think this through completely. This is because the majority of people do not think about the impact upon your family of their then having to pay higher levels of inheritance tax.

On this basis, it would seem that the value of making a Will in Chelmsford now cannot be ignored. This is because, at its most simple, getting your Will written is vital to at least mitigate some of the suffering your family experiences should the worse happen.
