If you are not there to tell them, a will is the best way to be sure you can help and guide your family and friends after your death. Without a will you may cause disagreement, delay and expense at an already difficult time. Your family, friends, assets and business will benefit from clear instructions that will assist everyone in dealing with your affairs. You may also benefit from trusts to protect assets, powers of attorney, letters of wishes to guide your executors and other services to ensure your instructions are understood.
