Making your Will

It’s a surprising fact that the majority of the adult UK population don’t have an up to date Will!

So why should you have one?

Firstly, making a Will enables you to choose what happens to your estate, however large or small, after your death. Otherwise the “Intestacy Rules” will apply and your property may not go to the persons you think and those who you want to benefit can lose out. Sadly, even the happiest of families can be reduced to arguments when a loved one dies without a valid Will. So a little thought now could save your family a lot of anguish at what will already be a very difficult time.

Here’s where we come in – we provide a professional, personal and sensitive service to enable you to make the correct decisions about how best to deal with your estate and ensure that your Will works to achieve this.

What if you already have a Will?

If you made your Will more than 12 months ago then surprisingly it may already be out of date due to changes in the law even if your personal circumstances are the same. If your circumstances have changed then it’s important to review your Will and if you have married or divorced your Will may no longer be valid. Even if you have a Will which is otherwise up to date it still may not achieve the best result particularly with tax efficiency and it may still be a good idea for us to review it for you.

Living Wills

An effective up to date Will is essential to make sure that your family is provided for in the event of your death. But you can also make a Living Will for your own peace of mind. This allows you to make decisions in advance about what sort of medical treatment you might wish to have in case you are too ill at the relevant time to express that wish. You can also specifically refuse certain types of medical treatment you do not wish to have.

We can also help you in preparing a Living Will as well as an ordinary Will.

Don’t risk DIY!

Making your own Will by filling in a Will form may seem an easy option but it is also easy to get it wrong although your beneficiaries will not know this until after you have died. Homemade Wills can often create legal muddles that can cost thousands of pounds to unravel after your death.

Remember – making a Will won’t kill you but putting it off can be fatal!
