Making a Will helps to guarantee the financial future of families, as well as ensuring that those whom you wish to benefit from your estate actually do so.
 
If you have not yet decided whether you should make a will consider the following:
 
If you make a will 
  • it shows you care
  • you may be able to save tax for those you leave behind
  • the winding up of your property and affairs will be more organised and less expensive
  • you choose who will deal with your affairs (your executors)
  • for anyone with children they can name a testamentary guardian. This is especially important if you are a separated or unmarried parent.
  • you can provide for charities or people beyond your immediate family
  • you can have influence when you've gone (immortality!) 
If you don't make a will
  • your estate will be distributed in accordance with the intestacy rules made by Parliament which govern the division of a deceased's money, property and possessions. These rules are mostly inflexible, so anyone with specific intentions about providing for a family, friends or a charity after their death should definitely consider making a will.
  • In certain cases intestacy may not be a problem for those you leave behind. But all too often leaving no will could create yet another worry for your family at a time of bereavement and disruption at home. Making a will is a way of making life easier for them.
Reviewing your will
Everyone's circumstances can change. You should make a will every time your situation changes; if you inherit money, or if your relationship breaks up. If you have already made a will, it is worth reviewing it every few years.
 
Why you should use us
You may find cheaper ways of making a will but there is no such thing as a free lunch. The banks will try and persuade you to appoint them as executors especially if you are a high worth individual so that they can act in the winding up of your estate. Their charges for acting as executor are high, and are not open to challenge or independent assessment in the same way as our fees.
 
You can DIY just as you can service your own car, but why bother? Can you be sure you will get it right?
 
Our fixed will fees are designed to allow us to offer a quality service using modern technology with low overheads.
 
We have the specialist knowledge which not all solicitors have in this field as the partner in charge is a member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners.
 
When you make a will with us you are free to choose your executors. If you would like a professional involved we can act as your executor alone or jointly with members of your family or a friend if you so wish.
 
How To Make A Will
We do not believe making a will is or should be a mechanical process. Everyone has different circumstances and we therefore aim to lead you through the issues and build the right will for you. This can be done speedily with email or ordinary mail, telephone or a meeting.
