Title: What is Will/Testament?


1
What is Will/Testament?
2
Plan your Will today!
  • Will planning is a critical task for everyone to
    ensure that all their hard-earned assets and
    investments are passed on to their loved ones
    after death. Will planning basically allows you
    to dictate how your assets will be divided and
    amongst whom after you pass away?

3
Care for your dependents
  • Without a valid Will, your assets may be
    contested for by other relatives causing your
    dependents to lose some of their share. In
    addition the legal fees and court hassles
    involved in claiming the assets without a Will
    can be extremely tedious and time consuming.

4
Nominee is not the heir
  • A lot of individuals avoid Will planning as they
    assume that the nominees on their assets will
    inherit the investment automatically. This is not
    true. The nominee is only a caretaker of the
    asset but is not recognised as a legal heir
    without a Will.

5
Protect the interests of minors
  • A Will allows parents to ensure that their
    children (if minor) are taken care of and will
    receive their share of the estate or assets when
    they come of age by appointing a custodian.
    Without this legal document, the older siblings
    may take majority of the share and leave the
    younger child with nothing.

6
Dont worry about losing control
  • A lot of people worry that if they plan their
    Will, they may lose control of their assets to
    the individuals they have named. Here, it is
    important to know that your Will only gets
    activated after your demise, as long as you are
    alive you retain full control of your assets.

7
Every investment is important
  • Will planning is not just for the uber-rich but
    for every individual irrespective of the size or
    amount of investments. Even a simple investment
    passed on to a loved one legally through a Will
    can help improve their future.

8
Let the experts help!
  • Will planning can be overwhelming for several.
    Here, to organise your assets and distribute them
    in the manner you would like, you can opt for a
    expert to help you draft your Will. This helps
    ensure that there are no legal hassles in the
    future as well as maintains an official record
    which cannot be contested by others.
