Why do you need a Will?

Have you ever thought about what happens to your estate or money after you are gone? Without a Will the State will decide who inherits so your spouse or dependants may get nothing.

A Will can guarantee:

Only about a third of us have a Will. An up-to-date Will ensures that you control what happens to your property, belongings and money. Without one, the State directs who inherits - so your relatives, friends and favorite charities may get nothing.

A Will is vital if you have children or dependants who may not be able to care for themselves. Without a Will there could be uncertainty about who will provide for them if you die. For example, if you have any children that may still be under 18 when you die you may need to name someone as their legal guardian.

It is particularly important to make a Will if you are not married to your partner. The law doesn't automatically recognise partners as having the same rights as husbands and wives. Even if you've lived together for many years, your partner may be left with nothing if you have not made a Will.

Inheritance Tax

Inheritance Tax affects what you own. Mainly owing to rising property values, millions of people now have assets that take their estate beyond the £300,000 mark that triggers Inheritence Tax. A properly drawn Will can legitimatley help you avoid Inheritance Tax on your estate.

Keep your Will up-to-date

You should review your Will every few years to ensure that it still adequately reflects your circumstances. For example, marriage, separation or divorce can make all or part of a Will invalid or inadequate.

As a matter of policy we do NOT provide an online Will service, nor a 'tick-the-box' form-filling approach as we feel these methods fail to ensure that our clients always receive the best advice in their circumstances.

All our clients are given the option of a personal appointment which gives you the opportunity to discuss any issues or questions that may arise.

Telephone us for an initial chat about what is invloved. We are always happy to discuss your initial requirements by telephone, and answer any questions you may have.

We are committed to delivering the kind of service we would wish to receive ourselves. Our goal is to provide:-
