Making a Will | Wills, Probate & Trusts

A will is a vital document that many people leave on their ‘to do list’ for some time.

Before it is put off again, the following questions should be considered:

What would happen if you died?
Who would your assets pass to?
Would all your debts be paid off?
Would your partner inherit all your assets?
Is a cohabitee treated in the same way as a spouse?
What age would your children inherit any assets?
Who would be the guardian of your children?

Why should you make a will?

No matter your circumstances, it is essential that you consider making a will to ensure that your loved ones are taken care of and that your assets pass according to your wishes. Without a valid will, the law of intestacy decides who gets what, which may not reflect your what you want.

Why should a will be regularly reviewed and updated?

It is vital that you keep your will under review as circumstances can change over time.

A will that you made in your 20s will not necessarily be appropriate when you are in your 40s. The amendment of a will can be a very straightforward process.

Small changes can often be done through a codicil, which is a document that sits alongside your existing will to amend one small part of the will.

I am getting divorced, so needed to make a will. Holly was very helpful and professional. She talked me through all the key issues, raised a few points that hadn't occurred to me and was assiduous in ensuring everything was successfully completed.

Really informative and clear initial call - took the time to listen to my situation, understand what was needed and answer all my questions. One small mistake in the first draft of the will (no one's perfect!) but quickly rectified. Peace of mind that everything is looked after if I die.
