It's really easy to put it off until tomorrow, but we never know what's around the corner. It's important that your wishes are secure, so speak to us today about making your Will.
Why is it important to make a Will?
What if I die without a Will?
There are certain rules which dictate how the money, property or possessions should be allocated. This may not be the way that you would have wished your money and possessions to be distributed.
What about my children?
If you have children, you will need to make a will so that arrangements for the children can be made if either one or both parents die.
Is my partner secure if we're not married?
Unmarried partners and partners who have not registered a civil partnership cannot inherit from each other unless there is a will, so the death of one partner may create serious financial problems.
And Inheritance Tax?
It may be possible to reduce the amount of tax payable on the inheritance if advice is taken in advance and a will is made.
Should I make a Will myself?
Is there a cost involved?
Yes, there will be a cost to making a will, although probably not as much as you think. However, this means you have peace of mind that it will be done correctly, legally, and we'll ensure your wishes are met.
Who should I talk to?
Us, of course!! We can help you every step of the way, no matter what you want to do.
Can I make one myself?
If you wish to make a will yourself, it is possible, however, we would always recommend getting professional advice, or instruct a professional to draft it for you.
This is because it is easy to make mistakes and, if there are errors in the will, this can cause serious problems after your death.
What sort of mistakes?
It's easy to miss some of the formal requirements, or to not take account of all the money or possessions. It's also common to not take into account if a beneficiary dies before yourself, or if you change the will and it's not properly witnessed.
