WHY MAKE A SIMPLE WILL?
A Simple Will.
A Simple Will ensures your assets are distributed according to your wishes and protects your family’s future.
A Simple Will is ideal for anyone with children, as family members are not automatically the legal guardians without a Will. It’s also perfect for individuals or couples with smaller estates, people who are renting, and unmarried couples who want to ensure their partner is protected.
A Simple Will does not protect your home from care fees, remarriage risks, or asset redirection, and it cannot secure the same tax benefits or safeguards that a Will Trust or Complex Will provides. If you own property or have a growing estate, stronger planning may be required.
A Simple Will sets out who inherits, who is in charge of dealing with everything, and who should act as guardians for your children. It gives clear instruction, prevents confusion, and ensures your wishes are respected — offering essential protection and peace of mind.
Putting a Simple Will in place now avoids unnecessary delays when your estate is dealt with, ensures your children are protected, and safeguards your partner if you’re not married. Most importantly, it guarantees that your wishes are followed and not left to default legal rules.
