You should make a will. A will provides for the division of your assets and possessions after you die. Through your will you can make provision for your family, divide your assets between beneficiaries you choose or establish a testamentary trust. You should make a testamentary trust if it can assist your beneficiaries and in your objectives. A testamentary trust is a potentially valuable tool in relation to asset protection and taxation.
Yes and don't put it off! A will should be reviewed as peoples' circumstances change.
