It is not just for later life. Key moments such as; getting married, cohabiting, purchasing a home, or having a child, are critical times when writing or updating your Will is essential to ensure your wishes are legally upheld.

Protecting your Legacy – Our Will writing services

We provide a full range of specialist services to help you define your legacy, protect your loved ones, and manage your estate effectively. Our solicitors will advise you on the right option tailored to your unique circumstances.

Single Will

A Single Will is designed for individuals who have specific wishes that may differ from a partner, or who are not married or cohabiting. You choose your own Executors and Beneficiaries.

Mirror Wills

If you and your partner or spouse have broadly identical wishes, a Mirror Will can be the most effective option. This involves drafting two separate documents that reflect the same wishes, ensuring both your futures are legally aligned.

Trust Wills and asset protection

A Trust Will provides increased protection over your assets. We incorporate various types of Testamentary Trusts into your Will to safeguard assets from Inheritance Tax, protect vulnerable beneficiaries, or ensure wealth is secured for the next generation.

Property Trust Wills

A Property Trust can be used to protect a share of your home’s value for specific beneficiaries (such as children from a previous relationship) while allowing a spouse or partner to reside in the property for their lifetime. This is a common strategy for balancing security with asset protection.

Codicils and Will reviews

If you need minor changes to an existing Will we can draft a Codicil, which is a legal document that modifies a specific part of your Will while leaving the remainder intact. For significant changes, we will advise you on the necessity of drafting an entirely new Will to prevent legal ambiguity.

Why do I need a Will?

Taking expert legal action now prevents major complications, cost, and distress for your family during an already difficult time.

Avoiding the rules of intestacy – If you die without a Will, your estate is distributed according to rigid legal rules (Intestacy), which may unintentionally exclude a cohabiting partner or distribute assets contrary to your wishes.

Appointing guardians – A Will is the only document in which you can formally appoint Guardians to look after your minor children, giving you full control over their care should the unthinkable happen.

The effect of marriage – Under the Wills Act 1837, getting married or entering a civil partnership automatically revokes any previous Will you have made, making a Will review essential.

Nominating Executors – You choose trusted individuals (Executors) to manage your estate and ensure your wishes are carried out exactly as intended, protecting your assets and beneficiaries.
