ENSURE YOUR WILL IS VALID
Once you have approved your Will from your solicitor and are happy with it, you must have it signed in front of two independent witnesses. Remember these witnesses cannot be related to you nor benefit from your Will. They must not be one of your executors or even married to one of your beneficiaries or executors. You must ensure that they do not leave the room during your Will signing or the document will be invalidated.
INHERITANCE TAX RELIEF
Leaving a gift in your Will to charity can reduce the amount of Inheritance Tax paid on an individual’s Estate when they die. Please speak to a solicitor to understand the implications of this.
