Will Writing Guidance You Can Trust
Making a Will gives you the choice, certainty and peace of mind that your money and property will go precisely where you want it to go.
In most cases, the cost of making a Will is relatively modest, but it is an investment that is well worth making. As well as giving you peace of mind, a Will can make things considerably easier for those you leave behind.
Even if you have already made a Will, you must review and update it to consider changes in circumstances for you or the people you wish to benefit under the Will.
We pride ourselves on our down-to-earth and practical approach to making Wills, and we will guide you through each step of the process.
Please look at our Quick Guide to Wills and contact one of our team members if you need further help or information.
Why Should You Write A Will?
The main concern for many people who write a Will is the desire to see all their assets (property, possessions, money, etc.) go to the right people, i.e. exactly who they choose. Putting together a Will is the best and most simple way of doing this. Ensuring you have a Will in place for when you pass avoids complications further down the line and puts everyone at ease.
The best and only recommended way to do this is through a solicitor like ourselves – we have decades of experience writing Wills and would be happy to help you with yours. The benefits of writing a Will are multiple, including:
- Less stress for those you leave behind
- Reduces potential for familial arguments
- Puts plans in place for your kids
- Sets funeral plans in stone
The Most Popular Questions For Writing A Will
How do you make a Will?
Once you decide you’re ready to make your Will, you can call to arrange an appointment with one of our expert staff members here at Tinsdills.
The appointment can be convenient for you and at any of our four offices. If you are unable to visit one of our offices, we can also arrange appointments in the comfort of your own home. Please bear in mind that an additional charge may apply for home visits.
Before the meeting, we may ask you to fill in a short questionnaire so that we have your details before discussing your Will.
During your initial appointment, one of our specialists will discuss your wishes and advise you on the best options to ensure that your money, property, and possessions go to exactly who you wish to inherit them.
After your first appointment, your specialist will create a draft of your Will and send this to you for review.
Once you are happy with the draft document, we will arrange another appointment to sign the Will and provide the witnesses. Alternatively, we can send the Will out to you to sign.
After making a Will, it is also essential to update it to reflect any changes in your circumstances, such as marriage, cohabitation, divorce, joint property, ownership, changing family relationships or even a significant inheritance of your own.
How much does it cost to make a Will?
In the vast majority of cases, the cost of making a Will is relatively modest, with prices starting from ÂŁ250 plus VAT, and it is an investment that is well worth making.
A will can give you peace of mind and make things considerably more accessible for those you leave behind.
Significant inheritance tax savings for higher-value and more complex estates are also possible.
Why should I make a Will?
By making a Will, you control who inherits your hard-earned estate.
Without a Will, the rather old-fashioned rules of intestacy will apply to the division of your estate, and you may find that your money, property, and possessions will not be inherited by the people you want to benefit from.
Our expert staff will guide you through the best options, giving you certainty and peace of mind.
It also allows you to:
- Specify funeral arrangements
- Appoint executors, trustees and guardians
- Provide for dependants
- Set up trusts to protect assets and vulnerable beneficiaries
- Leave a gift for a charity or organisation
- Make significant tax savings.
You will also have the certainty of knowing exactly what will happen to your assets and that your loved ones will receive what you intend them to.
When should you make a Will?
You should make a Will if you own any assets (or might do in the future), if you have children, and generally, if you want to control where your estate goes on your death.
It’s never too early to make a Will. Once you have your Will in place, you should review it regularly to ensure it still meets your needs, especially if you or any of your beneficiaries have any significant change in circumstances.
What will happen if you die without a Will?
According to statistics, 70% of adults in the UK have not made a will, and dying without a Will can cause unnecessary stress and difficulties for their families when they die.
If you die without a Will, the laws of intestacy will apply. This is where the law decides who receives your estate.
Most people don’t know how the rules of intestacy would apply to their estate, so wouldn’t it be better if you took control, made a Will, and decided how your estate was distributed?
