In this episode, host Sarah Reid is joined by legal expert Annaliese Barber. Annaliese is a Director at Richard Reed, a qualified solicitor, Notary Public, and Head of the firm’s Wills, Trusts, Probate & Court of Protection Department.
Today, we’re tackling a subject that’s often overlooked but incredibly important: making a will. Your will determines what happens to your money, property, and personal possessions after your death, yet many people avoid the topic or put it off indefinitely.
Annaliese will explain why having a will is essential, walk us through the process of creating one, and highlight common mistakes to avoid.
In this episode, we’ll cover:
• When to start thinking about making a will
• What to include in your will
• How to create a legally valid will
• When and why to review your will
• What steps to take once it’s written
Tune in to learn how to create a will that’s clear, legally sound, and truly reflects your wishes.
