Making a will 'protects assets'

Making a will is an essential step for those looking to protect their financial assets and to control how these are distributed after death, it has been claimed.
 
The Telegraph has highlighted the importance of seeking legal services advice and drawing up a will that reflects one's interests in how property and assets are to be distributed after death.
 
"If you don't make a will, the fate of your assets is determined by the law, which may cause your inheritance to pass to unintended beneficiaries and could cause family rifts," it warned.
 
The newspaper also highlighted the importance of proper estate administration, highlighting the fact that this can often be lengthy and complicated.
 
It highlighted the fact that legal services providers can perform these functions and suggested that those who are unsure should seek advice on the subject.
 
Recent figures published by LV= found that property is the most common gift that parents leave their children when making a will, followed by cash and engagement or wedding rings.
