It’s never too early to make a Will but often too late. A Will is one of the most important documents to put in place and you can ensure that those closest to you and not the government benefit from your estate - if you don't have a will, the law says who gets what.

In the event of incapacity and no power of attorney in place, whoever is going to help deal with your personal and business affairs face substantial costs and a lengthy court process. Incapacity can happen to anyone at anytime in life as a result of an illness or an accident.

Funerals have increased in cost by on average 10% over the last 20 years. At this rate of increase funeral costs for your family in the future will be substantial.

The legal age of inheritance in Scotland is 16. When a young beneficiary reaches 16 it is their money to spend as they please. With life cover payouts and property this often results in substantial sums out with the scope of their maturity with potential dire consequences.

The directive saves the family from having to make difficult and emotional decisions.
