Making cents: A will gives you control of life after your death

It is advisable to make a will, particularly at certain stages of life, such as when marrying, divorcing, or becoming a parent.

But many of us are reluctant to do it, because we don’t want to think about it or because we joke that we have nothing to leave.

But wills are more than a simple division of assets; they are an instruction as to what we want to happen after our death.
