Wills & Probate

Making a Will is very personal and can be difficult for the individual, emotionally, as they try to establish to whom they should leave their possessions. We will endeavour to ensure that the process of making a Will is made easy for you, with straightforward advice and assistance; knowing that as an individual this process is unique to you. 

Why Make A Will?

  • Making a Will is one of the most important things that you can do. There are many good reasons to make a Will such as: –
  • Making a Will is the best way to ensure your Estate is passed on to family and friends exactly as you wish
  • If you’re an unmarried couple, you can make sure your partner is provided for
  • You can make sure you don’t pay more Inheritance Tax than necessary
  • If you have children, you can choose guardians to look after them in their minority
  • It you die without a Will, your assets may be distributed according to the Law rather than your wishes.
