Making a will is one of those "grown up" jobs that never seems to be a priority - something you'll get round to at some point. Give yourself a pat on the back if you have made a will, but make sure that you keep it up to date. It is so important that you review what your will says every so often, so that it keeps abreast of changes in your life. In short, if you have a significant life change - update your will! 

Macnabs are delighted to once again be taking part in this year’s annual Will Aid fundraising event throughout November. It is simple – you make an appointment, we make your Will and instead of paying a fee you make a donation to the Will Aid charity.  There are many important reasons why people should have a will, especially when children under the age of 16 are involved. A will can be used to officially name a guardian for your children who would be responsible for looking after them until adulthood, as well as detailing other wishes for your estate. If both parents passed away without naming a guardian, it would be left up to the courts to appoint one. While they would strive to make the best decision for your children, their choice may not reflect your wishes.

Many of us think about protecting our parents, especially if they are elderly, and ensuring they have a Power or Attorney in place. However we often forget that all adults, irrespective of age, may unfortunately need a Power of Attorney.

Macnabs has raised almost £9,000 to support vulnerable people through a charity will-writing scheme. Macnabs raised a total of £8,960 for charity will-writing campaign Will Aid last November, after its staff volunteered their time and expertise in return for a voluntary donation.
