Legal Expertise for Writing a Valid Will.

We understand that writing a will is one of the most important and influential documents you will ever sign. This makes it daunting for you to decide who is to benefit from your estate after your death and on what terms. Writing a will ensures that there is certainty and clarity for your loved ones on how your estate should be distributed when you pass away. It is also an opportunity to ensure assets are appropriately protected for the next generation. 

Given the complexities and make up of families and assets in the current day, it’s important to weigh up the pros and cons for each type of will structure that fits your circumstances, and it’s important that you seek specialist legal advice from an experienced private client solicitor to advise you.

Why write a Will?

There are many reasons why you should consider writing a Will, such as:

  • Ensure your loved ones do not inherit at inappropriate times and expose your hard-earned wealth to divorce, bankruptcy and alcohol dependency
  • Without a Will your assets may pass to those who are not directly related to you, including charities, the government or step-children
  • Your assets would pass in accordance with the Intestacy Rules without a Will
  • Lack of control 
  • Increase costs and delays post-death for administration of your estate

Why do I need a Solicitor to write my Will?

A private client solicitor oversees and advises you on the most suitable structure for your Will. We offer a range of structures of Wills, including:

  • Simple outright Will
  • Flexible Life Interest trust 
  • Discretionary trust wills
  • Wills with additional provisions, clauses and guidance included 
  • Business Property Trust Wills

Instructing a Solicitor offers an opportunity to obtain legal advice to financially safeguard your family’s future, eliminating risks, unnecessary tax bills and piece of mind. Certain provisions under the Wills Act make Wills invalid if they are not executed or drafted correctly, which results in your estate passing in accordance with the intestacy rules.

A solicitor can advise you so as to ensure that the Will is valid, clear and poses no risk of invalidity on your death. For complex family arrangements (previous relationships, minors or vulnerable beneficiaries), solicitors can advise you on the most appropriate way to structure your bespoke Will.
