Writing a will is an important step for protecting the wellbeing of your children. To ensure that minors are taken care of in your absence, you can appoint guardians who will look after them until they reach adulthood. Furthermore, if you feel that it may be premature for your children to receive their inheritance at the age of 18, then you can specify a later age in your will such as 21 or 25.

To manage the inheritance in the meantime, trustees could also be appointed to look after the money until the specified age.

This gives you peace of mind that your children will be cared for even if you’re not around.
