    The Importance of Making a Will

    A valid will is one of the most important documents you could ever put your signature to, as the consequences of failing to make a will before you die can have far-reaching effects on the people you
    According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product
    care about most.

    Despite the importance of this legal document, it is still the case that only 3 out of every 10 people make a will mainly due to lack of awareness as to why a Will is needed.

    The 3 most important reasons why a W
    ; or drug, device, and biological product and fixed dose combination would include two or more combinations of drug.

    Examples of combination products may in
    ll should be made are;

    1. Simplifying Administration Process
    2. Intestacy & Distribution of Assets
    3. Inheritance Tax

    1. Simplifying the Administration Process

    Before a deceased person’s estate can be distributed to va
    lude drug-coated devices, drugs packaged with delivery devices in medical kits, and drugs and devices packaged separately but intended to be used together.

    rious individuals a grant of representation needs to be obtained from the Probate office. All assets which comprise the estate –including money in bank accounts - are frozen until this grant is confirmed. Where no will has been mad
    here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe
    the process of applying for the grant is drawn out, causing aggravated upset and anxiety for relatives and possibly acrimonious disputes and legal costs over who should deal with the estate.

    A valid Will resolves these problems a
    d dose combinations are still in the process of convincing regulatory authority on their advantages over the single ingredient formulations.

    Combination pro
    s persons will already have been appointed by the Will – executors – to deal with the estate and can obtain the grant and begin the distribution of the assets in a minimal period of time thus saving costs, time and unnecessary dist

    2. Intestacy & Distribution of Assets

    Making a Will is the only way to ensure that the people you wish to inherit from your estate actually do so. Failing to make a Will will result in the law of Intestacy being applied, and
    easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi

    The rules of intestacy will not take into account any relationships based on friendship, and will distribute amongst relatives only, everything passing to the State if no relatives can be found.

    3. Inheritance Tax

    The family home is often the main asset and with the increase in property values more and more people have been caught in the Inheritanc
    t?

    As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel
    e Tax net. Failing to make a Will will result in the rules of Intestacy being applied and these will only provide for the minimum Inheritance Tax avoidance.

    The UK legislation provides that assets up to the value of ?275,000 are e

    be dismayed to discover that you also be liable to pay inheritance tax!

    As an example, if your estate is worth ?300,000, ?25,000 of that will be taxable at the rate of 40% which will result in ?10,000 worth of tax being payable!

    Making a Will is probably one of the last – and most important – undertakings you can do
    elopment. They need to be wiser in analyzing the market trends and the regulatory requirements.
