Inheritance Planning
This course explains what you need to know if you’re thinking of making a will and what will happen if you don’t. Clear, non-legalistic language is used to explain how you can use your will to protect your children, provide for your dependants and save tax. Participants do not need any legal knowledge and the emphasis is on up-to-date legal knowledge and practical problem-solving. This topic is also available in Public Information Presentation form.
