Yes! If you die without a Will in place, your assets may not end up with those you wish to benefit. Even married couples or civil partners will not necessarily inherit all of their spouses’ estate under the intestacy rules.

No time like the present…. Wills are not just for older people. Parents of young children should consider who will look after their children should the worst happen. Likewise, unmarried couples should ensure that they make a Will if they would like their partner to inherit their assets as they will not automatically do so.

Yes, you can but there are dangers. By instructing a solicitor to write the Will on your behalf you will have the comfort of knowing that your wishes are correctly recorded and considerations such as inheritance tax are taken into account. We will also assist you to ensure that your Will is correctly dated, signed and witnessed and we can store your Will if you would like us to do so at no extra cost.

We like to meet our clients in person to have a discussion regarding their requirements for a Will. Prior to the meeting, we will send you a questionnaire so that you may think about your wishes. After our meeting, we will draft a Will for your approval. Any changes that you require may be made at any time up until the Will is signed.
