Why do I Need a Will?
Every adult should have a Will
A Will is the only way to ensure that your wishes are carried out when you are no longer around.
Without a Will, your estate will be divided up in line with the rules of intestacy.
This means you have no control over who receives what from your estate.

You can have peace of mind
In some cases, the rules of intestacy may match your wishes. But with proper consideration and a written Will, you can have peace of mind that your estate will be divided how you wish.
It’s a misconception that writing a Will has to be an uncomfortable task. Many people find that finally crossing ‘write my Will’ off their to do list brings peace of mind, comfort, and a feeling of positivity about the future.
When it came to having discussions with my family about leaving gifts in my Will, we all knew what CHAS means to me. I feel so incredibly proud to be part of the wonderful work of CHAS. I hope I can inspire others to consider leaving a gift in their Will to CHAS”
