Fiona Dodd, Partner at Mayo Wynne Baxter on the top five excuses people have for not making a Will. And her answers to counter those excuses…

“WHY I DO NOT NEED A WILL” 1“IT COSTS TOO MUCH”

It’s hard to spend money when you are not buying something delicious, gorgeous, or immediately useful. However, spending a relatively small amount now will pay huge dividends later for your family. Think of your Will as an insurance policy. Most people pay a few hundred pounds for household insurance every year. The cost of a Will is like a single insurance premium which may not need to be renewed for many years depending on whether you decide to change your will or need to update it.

WILL DO IT, 2 “IJUST NOT YET…”

Fortunately – or unfortunately – most of us do not know when we will die. It is therefore only right to plan for the worst and hope for the best. Writing your Will can be quite daunting at first but updating it as time goes by is simpler. At Mayo Wynne Baxter, we try to make the process of writing your Will as easy as possible, and you may be surprised at just how enjoyable it is!
