Writing a will
No one likes the idea of writing a will, but leaving the job undone can cause profound problems for loved ones. Not only can a will safeguard your assets, but you can also take control over such matters as appointing an appropriate guardian for your children.
Intestacy (dying without a will) results in your estate being distributed according to government guidelines. This does not necessarily mean that your personal assets will be passed to the people closest to you, ie. partner, children, brothers and sisters. In fact, if you are an unmarried couple your partner will not automatically inherit from you even if you have children, often resulting in financial and emotional problems.
Even if you have already written a will, it is important to ensure that it is current and continues to meet your wishes. For example, an existing will can be made void by a subsequent marriage.
Whether your needs are straightforward, requiring a simple will, or more complex - for example, involving the use of discretionary trusts, our will writing service can take the hassle out of this important process.
