The twelve reasons for making a Will are the twelve ways in which your estate or your loved ones could be disadvantaged should you die intestate (without a Will).

1. You will have no say in how your property and possessions are divided.
   
   
2. There could be a considerable delay in sorting out your estate since application would have to be made to a court for powers to administer your estate (Letters of Administration).
   
   
3. Should the court decide that any of your assets should be placed in trust, there will be restrictions placed on the types of investment of widows and children.
   
   
4. There would be no guardians appointed for your children.
   
   
5. Illegitimate children are entitled to claim on their parent's estate.
   
   
6. An unmarried partner is unlikely to receive anything.
   
   
7. No provision would be made for step-children.
   
   
8. No provision would be made for any other dependant, e.g. an aged relative.
   
   
9. Family arguments could arise over the right to administer your affairs.
   
   
10. Creditors could apply for the right to administer your estate.
    
    
11. A partner from whom you are separated but not divorced could still be entitled to the spouse's share of your estate.
    
    
12. You would not have the opportunity to make gifts to any Charities you may support.
