  • Choose an executor

    Consider who you would like to look after your affairs (your executors) and ensure that the people you select would be willing to act in that role.

  • Decide who you would like to provide for

    Consider how you would like your assets divided. Bear in mind your obligations are to the people who are close to you.

  • Talk to your solicitor

    Visit your solicitor to discuss your plans and ask them to prepare your will. They should advise you in terms of the tax implications of leaving legacies to family, friends or charities.

  • Consider HOPE

    Finally, if you choose to do so, don’t forget to ask your solicitor to include The Hope Foundation in your Will.
