Why should I make a will?
为什么需要订立遗嘱？
Making a will has a number of benefits, but primarily these are:
Complete control over asset distribution
It enables you to have control over the distribution of your assets. If you don't have a valid will, your assets will be distributed according to the Intestate Succession Act. For some, this may be an acceptable allocation, but for the sake of a relatively small financial outlay, we believe it always makes sense to explicitly outline your wishes.
Handling of special requests
A will can also be used to introduce special requests, or instructions. This may include things such as guardianship of your children or the creation of a trust for them.
Adapting to changes in your life
You may over the course of your life need to create a new will. For example, if you divorced and then remarried, you may wish to create a new will to alter the distribution of your assets accordingly.
订立遗嘱有诸多益处，主要有以下几点：
完全控制资产分配
遗嘱将是您可以控制自己的财产分配。如果您没有有效的遗嘱，您的资产将根据《无遗嘱继承法》被分配。对于某些人来说，可以接受那样的安排。但考虑到订立的遗嘱所需要的费用并不高昂，我们坚信根据您的意愿分配遗产始终是有意义的。
处理特殊需求
遗嘱中亦可涵盖特殊要求或指示。诸如子女监护权或为子女设立信托。
应对生活中的改变
一生中您也许需要更改遗嘱。例如离婚后再婚，您希望订立新的遗嘱相应地改变资产的分配。
