The importance of a Will

The importance of a Will

Many people think that they may not be very old, and they have not considered making a Will in their 60s. But making a Will is very important for dealing with property. Sometimes, because some people are related to you by blood, but you don't have too much love to them, and you don't even have contact with them, and you will also put your estate in the hands of those people simply because you don't have a Will, especially if you have no children, you have a land property, you are married, your wife or husband lives in that land property, and there are other relatives alive, such as parents or brothers and sisters who don't have a good relationship with you, then your wife or husband may not even be able to live in that land property once you passed away, because other relatives are alive, such as parents or brothers and sisters, who even don't have a good relationship with you, they can share part of your estate by law. At that time, you really can't keep your promise to take care of your wife / husband.

In addition, the format requirements of a Will are very important. It may be said that it is easy to write a piece of Will, but often if it is not written well or the format is wrong, it will then not be certified, and in the end, it will be treated like there is no Will, that is, your estate will fall into the hands of others (that really not matter to you) simply because there is no Will.

In fact, our Ms Emily Au (a Hong Kong lawyer) believes that because life is unpredictable, it is also a good thing to make a Will earlier. And you can also make a new Will at any time according to your personal wishes or changes in the environment, and the old Will will be invalid then. It is best not to wait until you are 70 years old or above to make your Will, because the risk of being challenged is great, and a doctor is needed to confirm your physical and mental state before you can make a valid Will.

Therefore, it is very important to find a suitable lawyer to prepare a Will for you. If necessary, please contact our Ms. Emily Au (a Hong Kong lawyer).
