Will Writing

A Will is the first stage of planning your inheritance, it documents how you wish your assets to be distributed after you pass, can have inheritance tax benefits and reduces the stress of dealing with your legal affairs for your family.

Your last Will and Testament is a legal document which stipulates how you would wish for your assets to be shared once you have passed away. There are various types of Wills, such as Single, Joint, and Mirrored and it is

important you not only write a Will but select the most suitable style.

Currently all estates over £5000 require probate and the absence of a will can cause lengthy delays, unnecessary legal costs, stress and ultimately an incorrect distribution of your assets.

A will is especially important if you have family who are financially dependent, such as a spouse and children. If you are unmarried and in a civil or common law relationship current law makes no provision for your partner and in some situations the absence of a Will can see people you would wish to leave assets to becoming disinherited.

A correctly prepared Will can also reduce any inheritance tax Liabilities you may have.

Traditionally people have chosen to write Joint or Mirrored Wills in a way in which after the first passing the total value of the assets transfer to the surviving partner and then eventually to their children and loved ones.

While these wills do have their benefits they can also lead to financial loss. It is important to seek advice to ensure the correct style of will is selected.

The absence of a will means your assets will be distributed in accordance with the laws of Intestacy. These may not reflect your own personal wishes or circumstance and could see your assets in the wrong hands or family members becoming disinherited.


Losing a loved one is difficult for any family and without a correctly prepared Will the family may find themselves with complex legal processes in order to complete your affairs and this will take considerably longer and incur expensive legal fees.

Its important Wills are reviewed regularly to ensure they reflect your wishes and remain valid. Often families’ circumstances can change, such as the birth of a grandchild or the passing of a beneficiary therefore its important the Will is kept up to date.
