Your Will appointment

What to think about

When you make a Will you need to think about what you own and owe, the people who depend on you, and who you might want to leave things to.

You'll also want to decide who should be the guardian for any children you may have - and who should carry out your last wishes.

To help you, here are some of the things that most people want to cover in their Will...

Choosing guardians for children under 18
Specifying who you'd like to provide for after you're gone, and set out any special gifts
Setting out what sort of funeral you want
Appointing an executor and trustee to carry out your wishes

Think about circumstances that could prevent you from having your first choice; who would be your second and third choice?

Any relevant information about what you own and owe (your assets and liabilities)
The full names and addresses of the people who you might want to leave your assets to (the beneficiaries). Because your Will is a legal document it's important that everything is spelled correctly
Two forms of identification; at least one that includes a photograph such as your passport or drivers licence
