Frequently Asked Questions
> Should I update my Will?
Yes, it’s important to review your Will regularly, especially after major life changes such as marriage, the birth of a child, or moving home.
> How does leaving a gift affect Inheritance Tax?
Gifts to registered charities are tax-free and can reduce the amount of Inheritance Tax your estate pays. If you leave 10% or more of your estate to charity, the tax rate on the rest of your estate could be reduced from 40% to 36%.
> Where should I keep my Will?
Store your Will in a safe place and let your executor or a trusted person know where to find it. WeWill offers a free, secure Will storage service.
> What is the difference between a simple and a complex will
A simple Will suits most people with straightforward circumstances – your assets are within the UK, and you don’t require specialised legal advice to outline your wishes.
A complex Will is required if your situation involves issues such as owning a business, owning assets abroad, or requiring detailed arrangements for dependents. In such cases, professional legal advice ensures your wishes are accurately captured. When you start the process with WeWill, they’ll help determine which type of Will fits your needs. If a complex Will is recommended, you’ll have the opportunity to speak with a Scottish legal expert for a free, no-obligation consultation before proceeding. If you choose to proceed, your fee will receive a discount on behalf of Cranhill Development Trust.
Your solicitor can guide you through the steps to ensure your generous contribution is properly documented.
