Five reasons to make a will

1- Protect your loved ones

Without a will, or with a will that is not up to date, you could leave the fate of your loved ones uncertain. Don't assume your partner, even if you are married, will inherit everything.

2- Help your favourite causes

Once you have taken care of those close to you, you might like to consider leaving us a legacy to continue our work campaigning to improve public services for disabled children; providing vital financial, legal and other specialist information and supporting the families of disabled children.

3- Prevent legal problems after your death

If your will is out of date, or badly worded, it could be very costly and traumatic for your loved ones to sort out.

4- Care for your children

If you have young children, making a will enables you to decide who will look after them should the worst happen.

5 - It's not expensive

Putting your affairs in order using a solicitor is not as expensive as you may think. Many charge a flat fee for making a straightforward will.

Five steps to making your will

1- Use a solicitor

2- Decide whom you wish to benefit

3- Appoint your executors

4- Keep your will safe
