  • What is a will?

    A will is an important legal document that outlines how you want your possessions and assets distributed when you die, providing peace of mind to yourself and your loved ones.

  • What are the benefits of having a will?

    Making a will is important because it gives you the control and peace of mind to know that your wishes are carried out when you are no longer around. It also helps to avoid unnecessary disputes and emotional distress for family members who may not agree on the distribution of your assets without clear guidance from you.


    Additionally, a will can help minimise taxes and potential delays in settling your estate, as it provides clear instructions on how assets should be divided. Furthermore, if you have minor children, a will allows you to name legal guardians for them in the event of your passing so they can still get the care and support they need. 

    Ultimately, having an up-to-date will puts you in control of what happens with your property after death, and can provide peace of mind for both yourself and those close to you.


  • Why use a solicitor to create a will?

    A solicitor can help you to ensure that all of your wishes are properly recorded in writing - including how any assets should be distributed among family and friends, who should act as guardians of any minor children, and other important decisions such as funeral arrangements. 


    A solicitor also ensures that the document meets all legal requirements so that it is valid under the law when you die. 


    Furthermore, a solicitor can provide advice on other matters such as potential disputes over inheritance rights. This makes them an invaluable resource in helping to protect your loved ones after death. 


    Finally, a solicitor is able to keep the will safe and secure until it needs to be referred to upon your passing – ensuring that your wishes are respected without delay or dispute when the time comes.
