For most people, what happens to their property and family when they die is a matter of some importance and making a Will is the only way you can ensure that your wishes are carried out after your death.

When a person dies without leaving a Will the law says they have died Intestate and the estate is divided among members of their family according to the rules laid down in the Administration of Estates Act, if there are no family members the estate can be forfeited to the state.

The fact that a couple have lived together for many years gives no automatic entitlement to the estate of the first to die, unless they are married to each other or are in a legally assigned civil partnership.

Please remember, substantial savings in death duty can sometimes be made by having a Will.

If you would like us to prepare your Will, please complete the form on the "Contact Us" page of this website.  We appreciate of course, that each person's circumstances are different.  Please contact us and/or make an appointment to discuss your requirements.
The initial consultation will be free of charge.

We will then send you a draft copy of your Will which you will be asked to read through carefully to ensure that it correctly reflects your wishes.  Once you confirm to us that the Will is correct, we will prepare an engrossment of your Will for you to sign.

After your Will is signed, should you wish us to keep a copy at our office on your behalf, we would be more than happy to do so.
