Considering making a Will? Here’s how to start

Make a list of what you own 

Write down all your assets and roughly what they’re worth. Then, make another list of everything you owe, such as outstanding mortgages or bank loans. This will give you a good idea of what your estate is worth. 

Family First 

Naturally, the needs of your family and friends will come first, but you may also want to include a gift to causes that are close to your heart. Think carefully about the people and organizations you want to remember in your Will, then decide how you’d like to divide your estate between them.

Choose your Executors 

Consider who you’d like to carry out your wishes after your death. They’ll usually be friends, relatives, or professional people you trust.

Arrange to meet your Solicitor 

We always recommend that you use a solicitor. It’s vital that your will is drawn up or amended professionally to provide security for your loved ones. To save you time and money, Beatson Cancer Charity has teamed up with the National Free Will Service to provide a no-obligation and absolutely free Will service in conjunction with a national network of participating solicitors.

Keep your Will Safe 

Your Will is an important document, so it’s best to keep it in a safe place at home. Better still, leave a copy with your solicitor.
