Where There's A Will (2015x30)

: 08, 2015

Is your will really your last word? Most people don’t realise that unless your will is carefully crafted, it might not be your last word. The legal document is meant to ensure your wishes are carried out when you die – from how assets are distributed, who would look after the children and what kind of funeral you want. But when a will is revealed and someone’s been left out, or they didn’t get as much as they thought they would, huge quarrels can ensue. A recent study has found that around three quarters of contested wills are successfully changed. In this Insight, we will bring people together to talk about how wills can be changed after they die and if it’s possible to make yours watertight.
