Save your money for who you want to have it – make a will!

February 5, 2010 on 2:41 pm | In Finance | No Comments

Just say you have saved all your life, you did not take regular holidays even though you deserved and could afford to. You worked hard, went without a lot of luxuries, saved hard and did not waste your money. Then someone comes along and takes your money, all your annuities and assets and gives  the sum total away to complete strangers who just happen to share a great-grandparent with you. You have never seen them in your life, never even heard of them but they get every penny you have ever saved.

This scenario is seen each week on a show called ‘Heir Hunters’ – it is about what happens to the estates of people who die without making a will…their money goes to distant and far-flung relatives who often never even knew the deceased was even alive. I would hate that to happen to me and it is a very sad thing to consider. One lady’s money went to a cousin who happened to be the last person she would ever have wanted to have her money due to a long running family feud. But she never made a will…

Make a will and ensure your money goes to whoever YOU want it to go to.
