01: Introduction

A few people are said to delight in rewriting their wills with great frequency, but for most of us writing or revising a will is something that tends to go to the bottom of the to-do list. Yet, keeping your will up to date on a reasonably regular basis is important if you want to be fair to your family and dependants.

The aim of this briefing is to explain why you should make a will. You should bear in mind that tax rules can change. The FSA does not regulate tax advice.
