When it comes to planning for the future, writing a Will is one of the most important and caring things you can do for your family. It’s not just about dividing assets—it’s about making your wishes clear, protecting your loved ones, and giving them peace of mind during what will already be a difficult time.


At Toucan Law, we believe that creating a Will is more than a legal necessity—it’s a way to take care of those who matter most to you, ensuring your family is supported and your legacy is protected.


What Happens Without a Will?

If you pass away without a Will, the law—not you—decides who inherits your estate under intestacy rules. This can lead to:


  • Family Disputes – Loved ones may argue over inheritance, leading to tension and legal battles.

  • Delays in Distribution – The estate administration process becomes more complicated and time-consuming.

  • Unintended Consequences – Unmarried partners, stepchildren, and close friends may receive nothing.

  • Higher Tax Liabilities – Without proper planning, your estate could be subject to unnecessary inheritance tax.


Writing a Will ensures your assets go where you want them to, avoiding unnecessary stress and conflict for your family.


Why Writing a Will is the Best Gift You Can Give

A Will gives you control over your legacy, protecting your family’s future and providing them with clarity at a difficult time. Key benefits include:


  • Control Over Your Assets – Ensure your money, property, and possessions are distributed according to your wishes.

  • Protecting Your Loved Ones – Appoint guardians for your children and safeguard their future.

  • Peace of Mind – Reduce uncertainty and stress for your family by setting out clear instructions.

  • Tailored Solutions – From inheritance tax planning to protecting assets for children or vulnerable beneficiaries, a Will can be customised to fit your circumstances.
