When should I create a Will?

You should create a will as soon as you have assets, dependents, or specific wishes about how your estate should be handled after your passing. Here are some key moments when you should strongly consider drafting a will:

You Become a Legal Adult – While young adults often don’t think about wills, having one ensures your wishes are clear, especially if you own assets or have specific preferences for your estate.

You Acquire Significant Assets – If you buy a house, start a business, or accumulate valuable possessions, a will ensures they go to the right people.

You Get Married or Enter a Long-Term Partnership – A will can ensure your spouse or partner is taken care of and prevent legal complications.

You Have Children or Dependents – A will allows you to name guardians for your children and set up financial plans for their future.

You Get Divorced or Remarry – Updating or creating a will ensures your assets go to the right people after major life changes.

You Have Specific Wishes for Your Estate – If you want certain people (or charities) to receive your assets, a will ensures your intentions are legally followed.

You Are Diagnosed with a Serious Illness – Having a will in place can give you peace of mind and make things easier for your loved ones.

You Want to Avoid Family Disputes – A clear will prevents confusion and potential conflicts among heirs.
