Making Your Will (English Edition)

When you know you need to make your will, but are not sure where to start, start with Making Your Will. This unique guide explains everything you need to think about - from why you need to make a will in the first place, to what to do with it when it's made. Making Your Will tackles an important subject without overwhelming you with lots of legal jargon. It includes chapters on who can make a will, what you can put in your will, how to select your executors, the various tax angles to think about, the different ways that you can leave property, the benefits of making gifts to charity, and much more. It's written by an ideal team: a former solicitor in a leading law firm, specialising in the law of wills and probate, and a publisher with 30 years' experience of writing about the law. Making Your Will complements the free will-writing platform provided by Simplify Wills at simplifywills.co.uk. There is an extensive glossary of legal terms, a full index and a host of cross-references. You're bound to find what you need to know, wherever you start looking. And a few of the common misunderstandings about wills are cleared up by the Mythbusters chapter. Bright and original illustrations make this essential guide even easier to read, and in-line icons provide useful pointers along the way to the key bits of information.
