A Will is one of the most important documents you can have in place to protect your loved ones and ensure your wishes are respected following your death. Without a Will, your estate is distributed according to the rules of intestacy, which may not reflect what you would have chosen.
Making a Will is something people tend to put off, but the importance of having a Will is hard to overstate. It is understood that over half of the adult population in the UK do not have a Will.
Anyone can buy a Will from a local shop and draft it on their own. However, there are a number of reasons why this may not be ideal. The main problem with “home-made Wills” is that one mistake or omission, no matter how small, may invalidate the whole Will. The intention of your Will may be very simple but the legal formalities and language required are complicated and must be strictly followed.
Our firm is here to guide you through the Will writing process with confidence ensuring your wishes are protected and your loved ones are provided for.
