The National Testamentos<\/a> Register has been carrying out surveys for the past three years in order to understand peoples\u2019 attitudes towards making Wills and estate planning in the UK. They also publish annual reports setting out their findings and statistics on Will-writing trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the 2024 report, 57% of men and 50% of women had written a Will<\/a> in the UK. However, last year\u2019s report shows that the proportion of UK adults surveyed who have made a Will is apenas 37%<\/strong>. This disparity demonstrates that making a Will is not one of the priorities of younger generations, even though there seems to be a growing interest in estate and inheritance planning among younger adults. This may also be explained by the increasing number of people<\/a> who are not in a long-term relationship. Single people are less likely to make a will in comparison to people who are in a relationship, married, divorced, or widowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Com base nas conclus\u00f5es do inqu\u00e9rito de 2024, as principais raz\u00f5es para n\u00e3o fazer um testamento incluem a falta de bens, o facto de se estar de boa sa\u00fade e o facto de n\u00e3o se ter tempo para escrever um testamento. H\u00e1 tamb\u00e9m a sensa\u00e7\u00e3o de que fazer um testamento pode ser moroso, complicado ou dispendioso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apesar disso, o inqu\u00e9rito do ano passado apresenta um quadro mais positivo. Parece haver mais interesse em fazer testamentos e em planear o patrim\u00f3nio em geral, talvez \u00e0 luz da proposta de introdu\u00e7\u00e3o do imposto sucess\u00f3rio sobre as pens\u00f5es, que dever\u00e1 alterar as pr\u00e1ticas de planeamento fiscal. 34% dos adultos inquiridos afirmaram que tencionavam fazer um testamento num futuro pr\u00f3ximo. Quase metade das pessoas que fazem testamentos optam por dar instru\u00e7\u00f5es a um advogado para agir em seu nome, presumivelmente porque assim est\u00e3o mais confiantes de que o testamento ser\u00e1 feito corretamente para que os seus desejos produzam efeitos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year\u2019s report also highlights an increasing willingness to discuss death and estate planning. 79% of adults surveyed stated that they are comfortable talking about<\/a> death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It would appear that there is still some work to be done to encourage people to seek professional apoio<\/a> in estate planning and will writing. The report recommends enhancing public education in relation to Will-making, improving communication practices, and embracing digital and technological solutions to make the process less daunting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Com ajuda e assist\u00eancia profissional, fazer um testamento pode ser uma experi\u00eancia positiva. Proporcionar-lhe-\u00e1 a tranquilidade de saber que os seus assuntos est\u00e3o em ordem e que aqueles que pretende que beneficiem do seu patrim\u00f3nio est\u00e3o protegidos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
