Wills & Estates

Drafting a will is child’s play, isn’t it? The answer is yes if you don’t live beyond that week and as long as you had testamentary capacity at the relevant time. While we hope you live a long time after drafting your will, doing so makes the situation complicated as there are many pitfalls awaiting the unwary.

Do you leave specific legacies so you know exactly what each person will be getting, in dollar values or by reference to specific items? Alternatively, should the will be drafted with scope for discretion, possibly including a testamentary trust?
