Passing on the ownership of property
It is very common for people to have at least one property under their ownership by the time they have reached old age, and in many cases they may have multiple properties that they will need to deal with. Whether you choose to give your children or other beneficiaries part ownership of a property or simply bequeath the entire property to one person is up to you.
Bequeathing particular possessions
As well as property, it is likely a person may have other extremely valuable possessions that they would like to pass on to someone. This can range from an expensive car to a valuable antique and it is important that this is settled. If you have any particular possessions that you would like to give someone then this must be included in your will explicitly. If you do not have any particular wishes, then you can also arrange for a single beneficiary to have sole ownership of all of your possessions.
