Why Make a Will?
A Will is a legal document that sets out how you want your assets to be distributed after your death. If you don’t have a Will, your estate will be distributed according to the rules of intestacy, which may not reflect your wishes. A Will allows you to:
- Choose who will inherit your assets.
- Appoint guardians for your children.
- Specify funeral arrangements.
- Make gifts to charity.
- Minimise inheritance tax.
Making a Will provides peace of mind, knowing that your affairs are in order and that your loved ones will be provided for according to your wishes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What happens if I die without a Will?
If you die without a Will (intestate), your estate will be distributed according to the rules of intestacy. These rules specify who is entitled to inherit and in what proportions. This may not be in accordance with your wishes and could lead to complications for your family.
Can I change my Will?
Yes, you can change your Will at any time, provided you have the mental capacity to do so. It is advisable to review your Will regularly, particularly if your circumstances change (e.g., marriage, divorce, birth of a child).
What is an executor?
An executor is the person you appoint in your Will to administer your estate after your death. Their responsibilities include collecting your assets, paying your debts and taxes, and distributing your estate to the beneficiaries.
Do I need a solicitor to make a Will?
While it is possible to make a Will without a solicitor, it is highly advisable to seek professional legal advice. A solicitor can ensure that your Will is legally valid, accurately reflects your wishes, and minimises the risk of disputes.
Where should I store my Will?
It is important to store your Will in a safe and accessible place. We offer secure storage for our clients’ Wills.
