TAYLOR LUCAS PARTNERSHIP

Making a will is important for several reasons:

Control over your estate: A will allows you to specify how your assets, such as property, money, and personal belongings, should be distributed after your death. Without a will, Scottish law dictates how your estate is divided, which may not reflect your wishes.
Avoiding legal complications: If you die intestate (without a will), it can lead to complex legal processes, delays, and potentially disagreements among your family members or beneficiaries. A will helps clarify your intentions and reduces the chances of disputes.
Appointing guardians for children: If you have young children, a will allows you to name a guardian to care for them if something were to happen to you. Without a will, the court will decide who should look after your children, which may not be in line with your preferences.
Providing for dependents: If you have dependents, a will ensures that they are provided for according to your wishes. It may also help ensure that your spouse or civil partner is adequately provided for after your death.
Simplifying the probate process: A valid will can make the process of executing your estate (known as "probate") smoother and quicker, as it provides clear instructions for your executors.

Overall, creating a will ensures that your estate is managed according to your wishes and can help protect your loved ones during a difficult time.
