Every Will we draft reflects the circumstances and wishes of our clients. We encourage every adult to make a Will and to check it regularly, particularly when their circumstances change.
Our Will writing service starts with listening. Once you have spoken in depth to one of our team, we'll do our best to ensure that your funds, property and personal belongings pass to your chosen beneficiaries.
Professional, skilled Will writing can be the difference between your family and loved ones being provided for, or your assets being divided in an arbitrary way by rules laid down in statute. Making a Will is one of the most thoughtful and sensible things anyone can do.
What we'll discuss with you
There are many things to consider when writing a Will, and a little preparation saves a lot of time. Some Wills contain trusts and inheritance tax planning, or letters of wishes leaving mementos to family and friends. We'll talk through the following and explain how your Will deals with each, including any tax implications.
- What you own - property, personal possessions, bank accounts, insurance policies, investments and pensions. Don't forget foreign property.
- What it's worth - the value of your possessions.
- What you can give - there are restrictions on some gifts, such as jointly owned property and foreign assets.
- Who you want to benefit - the people and causes you want to provide for.
