- Specific Bequeaths<\/b> \u2013 you may wish to leave specific items, personal possession, cash gifts and\/or other specific gifts to individual persons.<\/li>\n
- Appointment of Guardians for Minor Children<\/b> \u2013 You may want to appoint guardians if you have minor children, you should consider the practicability of whom you appoint (for example do they live in different households, if so how will they jointly come together to be the guardians of your children).<\/li>\n
- Beneficiaries <\/b>\u2013 After you have listed any specific bequeaths, gifts to charities, liabilities, and all other considerations, you should state how your residuary estate should be distributed (i.e. the balance).<\/li>\n
