Will Writing Service

What is a Will?

A Will is a document that details how you’d like your assets to be distributed when you die. This includes wealth, your property, and any possessions you own. You can use a Will to name who should receive what.

Why should you write a Will?

Making a Will is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your loved ones and ensure your wishes are followed. Without a valid Will, your estate may be distributed according to the law rather than what you want.

A professionally written Will allows you to protect your assets and distribute them correctly. You can:

• Decide who inherits your assets.
• Appoint guardians for your children.
• Minimise inheritance tax.
• Avoid unnecessary stress for your family.

Our process

We provide a tailored approach for your Will writing, as we understand that everyone is different. However, you can expect to follow a similar process:

Step 1: Initial consultation with us – we’ll learn all about your case and collect as much detail as possible, including your wishes and the sort of assets you’re looking to include in your Will. We can explain your options and talk you through the most suitable option.

Step 2: Drafting – we’ll begin drafting your Will, making sure to include all the relevant details you have given to us. It’ll be a legally sound document, meeting any necessary requirements.

Step 3: Reviewing and approving your Will – after it has been drafted, you’ll review your Will and we’ll ensure we’ve reflected your wishes exactly how you want.

Step 4: Signing and witnessing the Will – as soon as you’ve read your Will and you’re happy with it, we’ll arrange that the document is signed and witnessed. This is a key requirement that makes a Will valid.

Step 5: Storage of your Will – protecting your Will is essential, so we’ll store it securely and make sure it’s easily accessible whenever it’s needed in the future.
