Our Will writing services
We are full members of the Institute of Professional Will Writers. So we have the experience and qualifications to help you plan what happens to your estate when you die, and write your Will for you.
Should you make a Will?
It's important for everybody to make a Will - even if you don't have much money and don't own your own home. If you make a Will, you can decide who benefits from what you do have, and it will be easier for your family to manage your affairs when you die.
If you don't leave a Will:
- the people you would like to benefit from your estate, may not be provided for
- your partner will not automatically inherit from you if you're not married or in a civil partnership
- there will be no arrangements to look after any children you leave behind
- you risk much of your estate going to the government in Inheritance Tax
- your family may find it difficult to settle your affairs.
Writing your Will
The PWS can help you make a Will to manage what happens to your estate when you die. You can feel safe in the knowledge that your family will be looked after financially, and your possessions and property will be divided up in line with your wishes.
If you would like us to write your Will, we can:
- through the details of your estate with you - at your home or work if it is easier for you
- recommend the best ways to limit the amount of Inheritance Tax your beneficiaries will pay
- become an executor of the Will and handle your affairs when you die.
Dealing with the estate of a deceased relative is a distressing and overwhelming experience for people to cope with. If you would like to relieve your family of this burden when you die, we are happy to act as your executors and administer your estate for them.
For more information on how we can help administer estates, go to settling estates and Probate applications.
If you need to change your existing Will
There are times when you might need to change your Will - perhaps if you have a child or you remarry, or even if you have just decided to change your plans. You may be able to use a codicil to make a small amendment. But if you are making big changes, it's usually best to draw up another Will.
If you're not sure what you need to do, then please do get in touch. We will be happy to go over your proposed changes and rewrite your Will in the most appropriate way for you.
