Why do I need a Will?

Ask yourself these questions:
Are you married?
Are you a parent?
Do you own property?
Are you a home-owner?

What happens to my assets if I do not make a Will?

If you die without making a Will (intestate) your property will be distributed in accordance with the intestacy provisions of the Succession Act, 1965. That distribution may not be what you wish or expect and it could give rise to unnecessary Inheritance Tax having to be paid by your next of kin.
