Wills and Estate Planning

There is so much more to writing your Will than simply creating a list of who gets what. A properly written, correctly drafted Will should ensure that everything you’ve worked hard for all your life passes to your loved ones as smoothly as possible.

As part of our service we include a short review of your estate to ensure we properly understand what you have, what can be achieved and how best we can accomplish it.

We consider your family and friends, and look at the options for specific legacies, for shares of the residue, and for utilising the power of legacies given in Trust. Even when your own estate is nowhere near Inheritance Tax thresholds we look at protecting your family’s overall situation from Tax, and consider the impact of Residential Care Fees and other demands upon your money.

That’s why it’s not just making a Will, it’s Estate Planning.

Even if you already have a Will it’s likely we can do a lot more to protect your wealth and assets.

Finally we help you decide who to appoint as Executors and Trustees to carry out the Will for you, and who to appoint as Guardians to look after any children you have while they are still under 18.

Don’t worry if it all sounds a little daunting – as professional will writers and estate planning consultants we guarantee to make the process of writing your Will as simple and straightforward as possible for you, while we cover all the key points.

If you already have a Will then we can update it – either by creating a Codicil (an addition) to your Will or by rewriting it altogether.
