Wills are not just useful for older persons but are a "living legal document", which supply individuals with the knowledge that their wishes will be carried out to provide for their loved ones should anything happen to them.
Matthew Fidge, marketing manager for Lawpack, has commented that wills can also be a good place to research family history, as they shed light on the relationships of ancestors and what and who each held to be the most dear to them.
He noted that records can go back many generations and provide a link to the past.
Mr Fidge added: "Wills are not just a piece of ‘dead’ history. They are a living legal document. They allow you to choose who you wish to provide and care for in the future."
Lawpack is a UK-based DIY legal publisher and provides its customers with the opportunity to create legal documents and resolve legal issues without the cost of solicitors’ fees.
At present, Good Will Week is taking place in Australia (October 19th to 25th) and is encouraging individuals to keep an up-to-date and legally valid will.
