What should be in a will?

Your last will and testament should state how you want your inheritance to be distributed, or you can include any funeral wishes, as many people do.
But yes, the actual distribution of your inheritance must be stated in the will. You can also decide whether you want an executor, which is a person you appoint to carry out the distribution of your estate. This can be useful if you think someone is better suited than others.

When drawing up a will, it is important to ensure that formal legal requirements are met. It must be in writing and signed by two independent witnesses who must be of legal age. Nor can the witnesses be favoured in the will.
