Have you been asked to be a trustee in someone’s will?
It’s more than just a title. A will trust can hold money, property or business interests for beneficiaries (often children or vulnerable people), and your role could last years.

You’ll need to follow the trust terms, act fairly, keep good records, share updates with beneficiaries, and deal with tax/HMRC admin. Getting it wrong can mean personal liability. If you’re unsure at any point, getting expert advice early can save a lot of stress later.

That can mean your personal wishes aren’t considered, and the intestacy rules apply instead.

If you’ve been meaning to make a will or update an existing one, it’s worth taking a little time to get things in order.
