Why Police Officers Should Have a Will in Place
Policing is a profession where the risk of serious injury or death, however low, is a genuine occupational reality. Without a will, the distribution of an estate falls to intestacy rules, which may not reflect the officer’s actual wishes — particularly in non-standard family situations such as unmarried partnerships, blended families or cases where specific people need to be excluded.
A will also allows the appointment of a guardian for any children under 18, the designation of an executor to manage the estate, and the ringfencing of specific assets or cash amounts for particular individuals or causes.
For officers who already have a will in place, reviewing and updating it after significant life events — new children, a house purchase, a change of partner, or a promotion that materially changes pension entitlements — is advisable to ensure it still reflects current wishes.
What Kwil Allows
The online system covers appointing a trustee, appointing a guardian for children, leaving specific gifts or cash amounts, dividing an estate between multiple beneficiaries, excluding specific individuals, and setting up an executor lockbox for secure document storage.
Completed wills can be printed and are also editable if circumstances change after the initial document is created. The site uses SSL/TLS encryption and Microsoft Azure infrastructure with ISO 27001 certification for data security.
