Wills

Our friendly team of solicitors can help you prepare a Will with a tailored service offering exactly as much assistance or advice as you need.

What is a Will?

A Will is a legal document that lets you decide what happens to your money, property, possessions (your “Estate”) after your death. It allows you to clearly set out your wishes and decide who is responsible (Executor) for dealing with your Estate. It also sets out any procedures that the Executor may need to follow.

With effective planning, a Will can also make sure that your loved ones are provided for in the most tax-efficient way. If you do not make a Will, the law will distribute your Estate according to what’s known as the Rules of Intestacy. These are statutory rules and are very fixed and may not reflect what you would like to happen to your assets or what is most tax-efficient.

Making a Will

We can help you prepare a Will to:

• Make sure your money and property go to the people you want them to go to.
• Minimise Inheritance Tax.
• Name trusted people as Executors to sort out your affairs when you die.
• Appoint legal guardians for any children who are still minors
• Reflect changes in your life circumstances, such as marriage or divorce, or the birth of children or grandchildren.
• Ensure gifts or personal items are left to the right people.
• Set up Trusts and make gifts to charity.
