What is a Will?

A Will is a legally binding document that ensures any specific wishes in relation to your estate – money, property, shares and/or land - are acted upon after death. As long as it is valid, those involved in distributing the estate will be legally bound to provide the beneficiaries with the elements they’re entitled to based on the contents of the Will.

 

I had been putting off writing my Will for some time as I thought it would be time consuming and difficult. After losing my husband unexpectedly at just 50, I knew I needed to make my Will now. Rebecca made the process effortless. I wish I had done it ages ago. It’s very reasonably priced too! Thank you

Why should someone care about Wills?

Do you know what happens if you die without making a Will? Many assume their estate simply passes to the person they are with. If you are not married or in a civil partnership, this may not be the case.

Having a valid Will in place makes logical sense when looking to the future as no-one knows what is going to happen. It provides reassurance for you, your family, and your loved ones as those you specifically mention will get what you wish them to. There’s also the important planning of appointing legal guardians for your children, should that apply in your circumstances.

All of this gives peace of mind that you can provide for and support those around you after you’ve gone and also mitigates the potential for disagreements.

There is nothing worse than the thought that loved ones are arguing and becoming divided over the prospect of claiming what they feel is rightfully theirs. Unfortunately, this is an all-too-common theme in respect of estates being divided. By having a valid Will in place there is no cause for confusion, just clarity and clear direction.

When should you use Wills Solicitors for your Will?

Although you can create a Will yourself, without legal input, the vast majority seek that reassuring guidance from a legal professional.

The legal document created at the end of the process can be invalid if the wrong information is put in, if something is left out, or if a part of the process isn’t completed.

All this hassle and stress can be avoided by contacting a dedicated team that specialises in this area of law, ensuring the Will created is done so methodically and accurately, resulting in peace of mind that your wishes will be acted upon after your death.

After decades in the industry, our team knows what it takes to get your Will and wishes accurately moulded into a legally binding document. We’re ready to help you today.

FAQ

How much do solicitors charge to create a Will?

It is important to understand your specific circumstances before providing a cost for our services. The complexity of the estate can add the need for additional work, which may, in turn, call for a different type of Will to encapsulate the different dimensions of a complex estate.
