Last Will & Testament & Living Wills
A Will is a legal document and making a Will is one of the most important things you can do for your loved ones. It ensures that your estate is handled exactly as you want and reduces stress for your family during an already difficult time. Having a Will in place offers several benefits:
- Ensuring Your Estate is in Safe Hands.
- Control: It allows you to decide who inherits your assets and property, ensuring they go to the right people.
- Reducing Family Conflict.
- Protection for Your Loved Ones; you can appoint guardians for your minor children, or even Caring for Pets, ensuring that they are cared for by someone you trust.
- Making Funeral Arrangements.
- Avoiding Intestacy Rules. - Without a Will, your estate will be divided according to intestate laws, which may not reflect your wishes

Probate is the legal process of administering the estate of a deceased person. It involves validating the Will, paying any debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining assets to the beneficiaries.
The Probate Process
The Probate process can be complex and time consuming. It typically involves the following steps:
- Application for Grant of Probate: The executor named in the Will applies for the legal authority to administer the Estate.
- Validation of the Will: The Will is proven in court to be the legitimate final testament of the deceased
- Payment of the Debts and Taxes: Outstanding debts and taxes are settled from the Estates funds
- Distribution of Assets: The remaining assets are distributed to the beneficiaries as outlined in the Will.
