It has been estimated that nine out of ten people have not yet made a Will. If you have not made a Will, everything you leave will be divided according to the fixed rules of intestacy. This could mean that the people that you would like to benefit from your estate may not receive anything. It could also leave your beneficiaries with an unnecessarily large tax bill.
If you draw up your own Will there is a real risk that you may not sign the Will in accordance with the law, also you may unwittingly use language that will misinterpret your intentions. This can cause more problems than no Will at all.
How our advocates can help you:
- Help you to clarify your own ideas, you may not have thought of all the eventualities that your Will needs to cater for
- Home visits – we are always prepared to make home visits by arrangement.
- Advise on Trusts and how they can be administered
- Retain your original Will in our strong room without charge
- If a Will is being disputed we can advise both those seeking to bring a claim as well as on behalf of the administrators or executors of the Estate seeking to defend a claim.
