5 Easy Steps.

1. Work out the Value of your estate.

Make a list of everything you own minus anything you owe.

Gifts to your children, family & friends or gifts to your chosen charities.

3. Chose your executors.

Someone you trust to carry out your instructions after your death. (Can also be a beneficiary)
