Preserving your wealth for future generations
Peace of mind for you and your family
Thinking about your Will and how you would like your Estate to pass on death can be an uncomfortable thing to do, however it is a thoughtful and responsible way to spare your family the emotional and financial burden of organising your Estate at the time they can least cope.
Professional Estate Planning will protect your assets and grant you the peace of mind knowing that you have safeguarded the future of your loved ones.
Why do I need a Will?
A Will is the only way to ensure your assets pass to those you wish to benefit. If you have no Will the laws of intestacy apply and the courts will decide where your assets go (intestacy or dying intestate means dying without a Will).
The vast majority of people put off making a Will for a variety of
reasons. The reality is that you can put off making a Will until it is too late. Having no Will poses all sorts of problems for the people left behind and could mean that your inheritance either goes to the wrong person or to the state through the laws of intestacy.
Did you know that without a Will...
- If you are not married your partner will not receive anything.
- Ex-partners could make a claim on your Estate.
- Children from previous relationships may not receive anything.
- Children under 18 may be taken into care whilst the courts choose who look after them.
“Put your mind at rest while you’re alive and protect your assets for your family when you’re gone.”

How Does Our Will Writing Service Work?
Write Your Will Today with our Simple 4 Step Process
Important Things To Consider
During your lifetime you are likely to obtain savings and investments and possessions such as a car or furniture. You may also own a home, business or a property abroad; all of these things amount to your ‘Estate’ and when you make your Will you can state who you want to inherit these possessions.
If your situation is more complex
Whilst writing a Will is better than no planning at all, in our experience the majority of clients would benefit from Estate Planning to deal with concerns such as:
- Inheritance Tax
- Divorce
- Business/Agricultural Assets
- Potential Family Disputes
- Second Families
If you can answer yes to any of the following questions, then Estate Planning may be more appropriate to protect your assets:
Marriage after death
Are you concerned about what would happen to your children's inheritance if your partner was to re-marry after your death?
In-Laws
Do you have in-laws who you would not like to receive, or gain control of, your family assets?
Divorce
Are you concerned that future divorce or separations in the family may dilute the assets which you leave for your children and further generations.
Children
Would you prefer that the money you leave to your children is managed by members of your family rather than a local solicitor, or worse still the courts with associated costs?
Disabled Beneficiaries
Would you like to leave assets to any member of the family who receives Disabled Benefits from the State, or other State Benefits?
Inheritance Tax Liability
If you total up the value of your own and your partner’s assets, including insurance policies and death in service benefits, is the value above the nil rate band (currently £325k)?
