Sometimes people don’t write a Will because they mistakenly think those they love will receive their possessions and money automatically. And sometimes people think they don’t have assets high enough in value for a Will to be necessary. Both of these beliefs are based on myths and aren’t true.
In fact, everyone over the age of 18 who has anything they would like to pass on after they die, should write a Will. For it to be legally valid you must:
be 18 or over
make it voluntarily
be of sound mind
make it in writing
sign it in the presence of 2 witnesses who are both over 18
have it signed by your 2 witnesses, in your presence
If you make any changes to your will you must follow the same signing and witnessing process.
