Will Writing
Wills Solicitors
A Will is one of the most important legal documents a person can have. Regardless of your age, relationship status or financial situation, having a well-drafted and comprehensive Will ensures that your personal assets and estate will pass to your intended beneficiaries. It is a way to protect the future of your loved ones.
No matter what your situation is, making a Will should not be a complex process. However, failing to seek the appropriate legal advice could lead to costly mistakes. Furthermore, it might mean that your assets, finances and other possessions do not go to the people you intended them to when you die.

Any person over the age of 18 should have a Will in place, no matter their personal circumstances, finances or property.
Your Will should be comprehensive and make considerations for every aspect of your life. Your Will should detail the following:
- Who is to administer your estate when you die.
- Who will be the guardian of your children (if they are minors).
- Your wishes regarding your funeral.
- Who will benefit from your estate.
- Any protection for vulnerable beneficiaries.
- Any tax payable on your estate and who is liable to pay it.

What Happens if I Die Without a Will?
Dying without a Will is known as dying intestate. This means that your possessions will be distributed according to the rules of intestacy. In this case, your family and loved ones may not receive your finances and property as you intend – the rules prioritise partners and children related to the deceased person.
