The benefits of writing a will
- Control over your assets: A will allows you to dictate how your assets, including property, savings, and personal belongings, will be distributed among your chosen beneficiaries.
- Guardianship for minor children: If you have children under 16, a will lets you appoint a guardian of your choice, ensuring their well-being in case of your passing.
- Reduce family disputes: A clear and legally sound will can minimise the potential for disputes among family members over inheritance and asset distribution.
- Care for dependants: You can provide for dependants who may not automatically inherit under Scottish law, such as stepchildren or unmarried partners.
- Tax efficiency: A well-structured will can help minimise the tax implications on your estate, potentially benefiting your beneficiaries.
- Charitable contributions: If you wish to leave a legacy through charitable donations, a will allows you to support causes that are close to your heart.
- Peace of mind: Writing a will offers you the assurance that your affairs will be managed according to your wishes, providing comfort during uncertain times.
