If you have no will, the law prescribes how exactly your estate is distributed after your death, and this may well not reflect your wishes.

Also, a will can reduce or eliminate the inheritance tax due, so meaning that more of your estate is available to those you want to have it. You can also, by making a will, decide who will act as executors (the people who distribute your estate).
