You may be thinking of finalising your Will or have already done so, but how would you feel if your beneficiaries, which in all probability are your family, may dispute your wishes? It can feel massively ungrateful. Yet it’s all about how people define what is or is not fair to them.
We see family problems over money. Mostly they arise because of communication issues. Whilst it’s important to make a Will, it can be disheartening if your wishes are disputed. This happens because the estate plan necessary as part of drafting a Will has been shortcut. In other words, the amount of thinking involved in the making of a Will has been too limited. After all, drafting a Will should not be difficult; it is the time and effort to really understand how your estate is distributed fairly.
We think that’s always worth a conversation.
