Why every employee should have a Will

A Will ensures that a person’s wishes are respected after they pass away. Without one, their estate is distributed according to strict legal rules, which may not reflect their intentions. This can create unnecessary stress and financial hardship for loved ones.

Despite this, many people delay making a Will – often due to cost, time, or uncertainty about the process. Wills at Work removes these barriers by offering a simple, supportive, and affordable way to get it done.
