Having a well-crafted will is the most reliable way to ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes. Without a valid will, your estate may be subject to the Rules of Intestacy, meaning the law will dictate who inherits your estate, often leading to unintended consequences.

A will also allows you to:

• Appoint Guardians: Secure the future of minor children by naming guardians.
• Leave Charitable Donations: Support the causes that matter to you.
• Avoid Family Disputes: A clear, legally binding will reduces the risk of disagreements among family members.
