Making a will is a crucial part of protecting one’s estate and ensuring that assets are divided amongst beneficiaries as intended. But keeping a will safe is as important as making sure it is written effectively. If a will is lost or damaged, the executors may not be able to distribute assets according to the wishes of the deceased and may have to revert to the rules of intestacy.
To help ensure that doesn’t happen, Kwil now provides it’s own Will Storage solution.

In light of the Coronavirus pandemic, and its drastic effects on social mobility and health in the United Kingdom over the past weeks, many people have rightly thought about making their wills.

If you wish to leave your estate to a loved one, or perhaps a specific gift to a close friend. Your will tells people who you want to benefit from your assets when you die. If you don’t have a Will and an executor cannot be agreed by your family, then the government will decide how your assets are distributed.
To make your Will legally binding you need to make sure it’s signed alongside two witnesses. It’s really important that everybody is present, at the same time, when the will is signed. This is so that, if your will is ever contested in the future, your witnesses can testify that they watched you sign your will.
If you are self-isolating but need people to witness and sign your will, it’s incredibly important you don’t put it off. To get around this, you could arrange for both of your witnesses to watch through a closed window as you sign your will. It’s important that they are present at the same time for this.
Worth also noting that in light of the challenges around COVID, the government have responded by introducing new legislation that will allow wills to be witnessed remotely using video conferencing tools such as Zoom, WhatsApp and Facetime. These new measures have been backdated to January 2020, and will extend to January 2022 after which it will be reviewed. The government have been clear that this is a temporary change in the rules and should only be used as a last resort where it is not possible for a will to be signed in any other way.
Most married couples, civil partners and long-term partners choose to leave the majority of their residuary estate to their partner. This is usually due to shared responsibilities like looking after children or paying a mortgage where your partner relies on financial support.
If you’re a parent but don’t have a partner, you may wish to divide your estate between your children. Anything left to children under 18 will usually be held by your executors until they reach adulthood.
The inheritance tax rate for 2019/20 is £325,000, this is also known as the nil rate band. If your estate is worth more than £325,000, you will usually have to pay 40% on everything over the nil rate band. However, if you’re married or in a civil partnership and your partner is domiciled in the UK, anything you leave to your partner will be tax free, regardless of the size of your estate.
In this scenario, your partner would also inherit 100% of your £325,000 tax allowance, giving them a total allowance of £650,000. Your partner could then leave behind an estate up to the value of £650,000 without having to pay any inheritance tax.
