Do I have enough assets?

Expand

Most people are surprised by how much their assets add up to. You don't need to be wealthy to make a will - or leave a legacy.  After taking care of your loved ones, you can then choose to leave a residuary legacy (a portion of what is left after all your other commitments have been met) - or a pecuniary legacy (a gift of a specific amount) to the Citizens Advice service.
