There are a number of reasons why it
might be important that you should make a Will. You may wish to avoid the
intestacy rules and your assets passing to the wrong people on your death.
You may wish to appoint guardians for your children, or to give them specific
instructions regarding your burial or cremation. You may wish to minimize
the inheritance tax paid by your family.

As well as helping clients reduce tax
liabilities on death, we can also advise on effective life time tax planning
such as gifts and the use of trusts.
From 5 December 2005 same sex couples will be able to enter
into a Civil Partnership. See our legal guide on
Civil Partnerships
for more detail. From this date registered ‘civil partners’ will be treated
in the same
way
as married couples for tax purposes.
