Those above words rank amongst the best advice that can ever be given by a lawyer. If you do make a Will you will ensure that your property and affairs will be dealt with according to how you would want. If you don’t make a Will then quite simply it is the State through existing legislation that determines how your estate is distributed and this may not be as you would wish.
Our specialist team of advisors can also advise you on a host of related matters that are often overlooked when someone considers making a Will but are nonetheless often vital to your legal well being. This can include advice on mitigating inheritance tax, creating trust provisions to ensure the protection of your family, the persons you should consider appointing as your executors and trustees, together with making gifts to a charity of your choice.
How long does it to make a Will
For most Wills instructions can be taken and advice given on what is the best for your individual circumstances within an hour. After that a draft will be sent for your approval and once you have confirmed the draft the final Will is prepared for your signature. We will even store the Will for you.
