A Will is a written document that states what you want to happen to your possessions (your ‘estate’) after you die. Your estate includes any belongings, cash, savings and investments.

If a person leaves all or part of their estate to a person aged under 18, then the Senior Master will hold this money until the person’s 18th birthday. This means they become a client of the Court.

Clients can apply to access their funds in Court to pay for items and may be able to apply for payment out of funds once they turn eighteen. If this applies to you please see our For Under 18s section.
