Wills

Supporting families since 1988

Our Wills and Probate team can help you make or update your Will and guide you through probate, with clear advice and personal support

If you were to die, without having made a valid Will, then in those circumstances the Intestacy Rules determine who will inherit your property, money and possessions.

People you may want to benefit may end up with nothing- especially if you and your partner are not married – and possibly those who you would not want or expect to benefit from your estate would end up doing so. It is far better to have certainty.

If you have children under 18

you should consider who you would want to look after them if you were to die.

Even if you have modest assets

it is worth making a Will setting out your wishes as this makes the process far more straight forward and can avoid unnecessary arguments at what is already a distressing time.

Anyone can make a Will

provided they are over the age 18 years, of sound mind and they are doing so voluntarily.

When making a Will you need to consider the following points:

  • Who is going to sort out your Estate when you die (Executors);
  • Who you would want to look after any children that are still under the age of 18 years;

  • Whether you wish to include any specific funeral wishes;

  • Whether you wish to leave any specific gifts ie. money, jewellery, etc.

  • Who you want to receive the remainder of your Estate.
