Making a Will

Making a Will allows you to choose how your assets are distributed after your death. If you do not have a will then your estate will devolve in accordance with the laws of “intestacy”. This means that the law directs who inherits, so your friends, favourite charities, and some relatives may get nothing, or not get enough.

It is particularly important to make a will if you are not married. This is because the law does not recognise partners who live together as having the same rights as husbands, wives and civil partners. As a result, even if you've lived together for many years, your cohabitant may be left with nothing if you have not made a will.

A will is also vital if you have children or dependants.

However, writing your own will is not advisable as there are various legal formalities you need to follow to make sure that your will is valid. The legal costs in sorting out the tangled arrangements where people have made their own wills can swallow up a significant part of an estate. 

Our fees for the preparation of a straightforward Will or for a pair of wills for a husband and wife are very reasonable.Solicitors Web site
