Wills & Probate

Making a Will helps to guarantee the financial future of families, as well as ensuring that those whom you wish to benefit from your estate actually do so.

There are many reasons why you should make a will, aside from ensuring that your estate passes in accordance with your wishes;

• To appoint guardians for your children.

• To make adequate financial provision for your children or others through the creation of trusts.

• To provide legacies of cash or specific items to particular individuals or charities.

• If you die without leaving a will then the law makes assumptions as to who receives your property. This can result in your estate not going to the people whom you wish to benefit and your affairs taking many months to sort out.

• Unmarried couples living together should also note that without a will none of their estate would pass to their surviving partner automatically. Any claim for financial provision in these circumstances almost invariably leads to expensive litigation

• To cancel or reduce liability to Inheritance Tax.
