Some important reasons for creating a Will:

• To avoid your property being distributed in accordance with the rules of law that may not agree with your personal intentions.
• To ensure that your estate is administered and distributed according to your wishes.
• To appoint the executors that you trust and not an administrator chosen by the Court or rule of law.
• To appoint guardians to care for your young children.
• To set up trusts and appoint trustees, where needed.
• To make provisions for the payment of your liabilities, debts and funeral expenses.
• To express any special burial requests and arrangements.
• To ensure that step, illegitimate or adopted children are not excluded from benefit under your estate subject to rules of law.
