What happens to your possessions after you die?

• You decide if you make a Will.
• The Law decides if you don't.

With the correct legal advice and assistance your Will allows you to retain control over the distribution of your property and investments after your death. It is the only way to avoid complications and further upset for loved ones during an already traumatic time.

You can specify what personal items you wish left to whom; for example, you could leave an ornament to your neighbour and your watch to a nephew. You could also make bequests to charity, donate your organs or specify if you want to be cremated or buried and what type of funeral you would like.

If you die inestate your assets will be divided up by the Court which is impersonal, distressing and can lead to family arguments and legal disputes which can be lengthy and costly.

At Nicholas J Scullion & Co, we take the time to listen to you and tailor your Will to your exact wishes. We would recommend that you review your Will every few years, especially if your circumstances change.

Prepare for the future and make your Will today.

• Only a Will gives you control over your assets at death
• Your Will can reduce the risk of exposure to Inheritance Tax
• We can help make it easier for your friends and relatives at a difficult time
