Should I make a Will?
It is advisable that everyone over the age of 18 years old has a Will in place. For many people, however, making a Will is a decision that is pushed back until they are older. This is risky as often it is left too late and loved ones find themselves burdened with resolving complex issues relating to property and personal affairs of people who did not have a valid Will.
