Ensure you pass it on when you pass on

Half of the adult population dies intestate. Don’t let that happen to you. A will is one of the most important documents doctors in private practice will ever write. Fiona Wilson shows why.

Independent practitioners need to carefully consider their financial affairs throughout their professional lives and into retirement, keeping their will under periodic review. 

Here are seven good reasons why you should make one.

1 Control

The most important reason for making a will is that it puts you in control so that you choose who benefits from your assets when you die and in what amount.  

It also means you can name who you want to administer your estate to ensure it is done properly.
