WILLSWhat is a Will? A Will is a legal document that names the people (beneficiaries) you want to receive the things you own —your property and possessions. Should I make a Will? It is essential that you make a Will if you are concerned about who will receive your assets and belongings after you die. What if I don't make a Will? The legal procedures are complicated and time consuming and may cause expense, worry and even hardship to your family. Why do I use Cutlers The Law Firm? Case Example: Recently a person purchased a Will form from a newsagent (approx.$10.00). The person then completed the form to their best ability and signed it as their completed Will. Not long afterwards, the person died. The executor then took the said Will to a solicitor for probate, only to be told that there were glaring anomalies in the document. These anomalies were affecting the beneficiaries to such a degree that it cost the estate $40 000 00 in legal fees to amend the Will. IT MAY COST A FEW EXTRA DOLLARS TO USE A SOLICITOR IN THE FIRST PLACE, BUT IT WOULD NOT COST $40,000.00
