Making a will
You and the person you care should consider writing a will.
You may not want to think about what will happen after you die, and someotimes the thought of putting it down in writing can be upsetting. However, writing a will allows you to set out what you, and the person you care for, want to happen after you die. It ensures that your wishes are set out clearly and you can choosewho you want to deal with things on your behalf.
Even if you don't think you have much money, belongings or property it is still important to think about writing a will. A will can also help you make provision for a dependant who is unable to care for themselves. You should discuss this with a solicitor when drawing up your will.
You can find our more about how to write a will on the Citizens Advice website. It also has lots of other advice about writing a will.
