Wills
Many people die each year without making a Will, probably without realising the consequences.
The absence of a Will makes the administration of an estate complicated and costly. Also, if you die without making a Will, only the first £250,000 of your estate will pass to your spouse. The rest of your estate could pass to family members with whom you have never met and, in certain circumstances, to the Government. Wills also cover other important matters such as who you wish to act as Guardians for any minor children.
Making a Will is usually more straight forward than people realise and basic instructions can be taken in a short meeting. You will need to think about who you would like to appoint as your Executor (the person who deals with the distribution of your estate) and who you would like to benefit from your Will. If you are unable to attend these offices then our Wills solicitor will be happy to visit you at home.
