MAKING A WILL
It’s Never Too Late
People are surprised to discover how many have recently retired, and don’t have a Will. For others, who made a Will more than 20 years ago, they simply need advice about updating their arrangements.
​
What Happens If I Don’t Have A Will?
If you don’t make a Will, under the rules of intestacy your spouse or civil partner only receives the first £250,000 of your estate absolutely. Of the remaining estate, your spouse or civil partner is entitled to half the value until they die (known as a life interest), and the rest is split between your children, or grandchildren, if your children have already died.
NO NONSENSE ADVICE
We will review your arrangements, and clearly explain how making a Will would work for you and your family and more importantly represent your best interests.
​
Process
The process starts with an introductory meeting.
This is where information is gathered about your assets and liabilities, and any gifts you wish to make. We will then liaise with you about 3 more times fine tuning the draft until everything is perfect. The will is then drafted by The Will Company .
All of the wills are drafted by a qualified Will Writer from The Will Company, Not only are they XXXX qualified, they are regulated by the Xxxxxxx xx Xxxx Xxxxxxx -
Pretty ridiculous, but I have been instructed by Xxxxxxx xx Xxxx Xxxxxxx & XXXX that I am unable to tell you their qualifications or mention their companies on this website.
So please visit https://www.thewillcompany.com/ web page to view their relevant qualifications and memberships and to find out what Xxxxxxx xx Xxxx Xxxxxxx and XXXX stands for!
​
When making a Will we will have to check mental capacity, sometimes known to the layman as 'being of sound mind and body' or in legal terms establishing testamentary capacity.
WILL STORAGE
We also offer storage of your Will papers. If you would like us to, we can store your registered documents for future safe keeping from as little as £2.00 a month
