Making A Will

Your Will ensures that your estate goes to those you say it should. Our lawyers provide a Will writing service tailored specifically to your requirements because we care about the little details that mean a lot to you. Our specialists will make sure your Will addresses all of your concerns, caters to your particular needs and provides for all of your nominated recipients exactly as you want. 

Where necessary we will also prepare a detailed ‘Memorandum’ setting out why you have left your estate as you have.  No detail is too much and no gift is too small for our experienced lawyers. Keepsakes that matter to you matter to us and we will reflect them in your Will exactly as you wish.

If you want a complex Will Trust to provide for generations to come or vulnerable dependents we can assist you.  Should you require an overall estate plan designed to minimise taxation again we can help. Making a Will and making provisions for those you care about leaving behind can be difficult to think about. Our specialist lawyers make it easy and take the worry away for you. We will visit you at home, or at any place you wish to give us your instructions.  You need not come to our offices we will come to you.   

Whether your needs are complex or straightforward we will help. Allowing us to prepare a professionally drawn up Will for you can help to avoid any messy disputes after you are gone. The benefits of a well drafted Will are much more than just setting out who should inherit your estate.  A Will can also set out:

  • Who should deal with the administration of your estate.
  • How your funeral should be conducted and your body disposed of.
  • Who should be the Guardians of your children.
  • At what age beneficiaries actually inherit.
  • Particular provisions for vulnerable dependents.
  • Conditions attached to gifts you decide to make.
  • Alterations needed due to births, deaths, divorces or bankruptcies.

The Will we write will be perfectly suited to you. Where possible it will utilise available estate planning and wealth preservation opportunities. 

Over 70% of people in the UK do not have a Will in place. If you die without a Will the laws of intestacy apply which could mean that your intended beneficiaries are left out.  Intestacy can cause great confusion, upset, financial hardship, unnecessary restrictions and costs for your loved ones so avoid the Intestacy laws.

Have the complete peace of mind of knowing you have a professionally drawn up Will which maximises the protection of your loved ones.  Once your Will has been signed and is valid we will send you a copy for your records and will securely store the original of your Will free of charge.
