How Important Is It To Have A Last Will And Testament?

A will is very important and enables you to:

• Appoint an executor of your choice, thus avoiding the delays involved in the appointment of an executor dative.
• Appoint heirs of your choice, avoiding the arbitrary rules on intestacy and ensuring that your wishes are carried out.
• Protect the interests of your heirs, e.g. by appointing a guardian for minor children and/or a professional trustee to administer their inheritance.
• RBi Consult understands the difficulty of winding up an estate without a will. It places dependants in a desperate situation with no time limit and could so easily have been avoided.
