Making a Will  Will WRITING

Writing a will is the best way to set out what you want to happen to your assets after you pass away, and who will benefit from your estate.

Why is a Will important?
A will means you can determine who is responsible for distributing your estate (the executor) and therefore you prevent unnecessary stress and work for your loved ones after your death.

What happens if I don’t make a Will?
If you do not make a will during your lifetime, you do not get to decide who will inherit from your estate. This may mean that people you care about do not benefit from your estate. If you are married with children, your spouse does not automatically inherit everything you own, instead your assets are divided between your spouse and your children. If you are unmarried, your partner may not get any of your assets. For safety, you should put a will in place early.

How do I make a Will?
You can set up a will yourself, but most people choose to get help and advice from an experienced professional, who can advise and guide them through the process step by step and ensure that all wording is correct and binding.

Failure to make a Will leaves too much to chance in this uncertain world, protect your loved ones now from the laws of intestacy, and make sure the right people get the right money at the right time.

The easy way is to contact us for an information pack on making Wills.

You may decide an individual consultation with one of our experienced consultants will be more beneficial. This would ensure that the right Will is chosen for you, or a trust may be required to help with either Inheritance Tax planning or protection of your property against Residential Care costs.

In the meeting we will gather as much information about your needs to ensure we give you best advice.

Are Wills expensive?

Depending on who provides your Wills, they can be expensive. The initial cost can be relatively cheap, often free at certain times of the year with certain companies. However everything comes at a price, nothing in this world is free, don`t be fooled, It is important you check who is administering (executing) your Will. If a company (e.g. a Solicitor) is named as an executor on a Will, this can lead to unnecessary costs, as professional executors charge a % of your estate on each death.

Check your Will today. Your executor has the right to charge for his or her services.
