Do I really need a will? Five reasons not to put it off

The short version

This guide explains the essentials in plain English: what it is, how it works and what you should do now. It's general information, not legal advice for your situation.

Step by step

• Write down what happened and when, while it's fresh.
• Keep copies of emails, letters and payslips.
• Get advice early. It's usually cheaper and gives you more options.

"The earlier you get advice, the more options you usually have."

Time limits

Many legal claims have strict deadlines. In employment cases it's usually three months less one day from the event. Miss it and you may lose the right to claim.
