Wills - some basics...
-
Not all Wills are the same. Your Will(s) should reflect your personal circumstances and what you want the Will(s) to do.
-
To make sure your Wills reflect your full intentions you need professional advice.
-
-
We provide a comprehensive personal service to make sure your Will(s) do what you want and need:
-
We can meet with you at home if practical or online with a Zoom video call.
-
You'll get advice and explanations - it's important you understand everything​
-
-
Dying without a Will is called 'dying intestate'. Who inherits what is governed by the Laws of Intestacy, most of which were established in 1925. You have no choice.
-
Information about Intestacy can be found HERE
-
-
There is no such thing as a 'common law husband/wife'.
-
Unless you are married or in a legal civil partnership there is no legal right to inherit.
-
Co-habiting partners can make Wills in favour of each other.
-
Tax-free inter-spousal transfers do not apply
-
-
We can provide secure storage of your Wills
-
Any marks on or damage to a Will can render it invalid. It's better to keep just a copy at home​.
-
Storage is in a fully managed, professionally converted WW2 bunker protected against flood, fire and other risks.
-
-
Yes, you can make a do-it-yourself Will, buy a paper form or do it online for £100 or less - but beware - you get what you pay for.​
-
If it isn't exactly right you'll be storing up problems for your family.​
