Why writing a will is one of the kindest things you can do

A will makes sure the people and causes you love are looked after. Without one, the law decides — and it doesn't always decide the way you'd want.

What happens if you die without a will

In England & Wales, the rules of intestacy decide where your assets go. Unmarried partners get nothing automatically. Stepchildren get nothing. It can be slow, painful and expensive for the people you leave behind.

What to include

Who inherits what, who looks after any children under 18, who you'd like as executors, and any specific gifts or charitable donations.
