Statistics suggest that many people still die without making a Will. Worse still, many people die leaving behind them a Will that is woefully out of date, either because the law has moved on or personal circumstances have changed. Making a Will and subsequently reviewing it from time to time is the only way you can guarantee on your death that your estate will go those people or organisations you choose.
Furthermore if you have children it is important to ensure not only that your estate is left in a way that is financially secure for them but also that they are looked after in the manner that you would wish. A will provides the opportunity for you to choose guardians who would look after you children.
Making a will is not as daunting as many people think. Usually this can be dealt with by having one meeting with us so we can take your instructions and following this we can prepare the document and subject to your approval produce the final document for you to sign. There are some specific requirements about the way in which a will is signed. We can explain these to you.
Wills are not as expensive as you might think to prepare. For most straightforward wills our fees would be no more than £150.
