Wills and Probate:

• A will is a very simple document which sets out your instructions on how you want your assets
  distributed when you die.
• You can take into account special bequests to friends, relatives, charities etc…..
• It also reduces the likelihood of family disagreements or unnecessary expenditure on litigation.
• A vital aspect of any will is the appointment of one Executor, however it is advisable to appoint
  two.  An Executor can be a beneficiary.
• The Executor carries out the wishes of the deceased in the will and distributes both the assets
  and property in the terms of the will and can be a beneficiary.
• Brian Morton & Company will prepare your will for a modest fee: we will advise you regarding any
  family obligations arising from the Succession Act, Taxation implications of legacies and bequests will
  be discussed.
• We will be more than happy to advise and assist you with your duties and functions should someone appoint
  you to be their Executor.
• Where there is no will the spouse inherits two thirds (2/3) of the Estate with one third (1/3) to the
  children.  Where there are no children all is inherited by the spouse.
• Where there is a will a spouse none the less has an entitlement to a legal right to one third (1/3) of the
  Estate where there are children and one half (1/2) of the Estate where there are no children.
