SOME OPTIONS FOR MAKING A WILL

A will is a legal document which has to conform to a strict set of formalities to ensure it passes through probate.  Almost fifty per cent of the Wills people try to write themselves fall short of this and fail.  We have many years of experience in preparing Wills and our consultants are trained to take your instructions with the minimum of bother.  We recommend you use a professional if your estate is over £5000 as it will have to pass through probate before your next of kin can deal with your estate.

OUR PROFESSIONAL HOME WILL WRITING SERVICE

Let one of our trained consultants lead you through the process.  Everything you need for a professional Will in the comfort of your own home at a time to suit.  Our contact details are shown above.

We find most clients like us to visit them at home for their consultation.  Ant time is fine:- daytime, evenings and weekends.  The appointment usually takes less than an hour, during which time we carefully record your wishes and advise you on the best way of dealing with your particular situation.

USE A SOLICITOR

Nothing wrong with solicitors but;

• You may have to take a couple of days off work.
• They may wish to act as your Executors which could cost £1,500 - £3500 or more for a very simple estate when probate is dealt with.
• They will probably not wish to visit you at home.

AT THE POST OFFICE

Unless you have a very small estate (under £5,000) and have some knowledge of Wills this is not recommended as 50% of the DIY Wills we see are not valid or do not cover the clients wishes for one reason or another.  These forms are so basic they even recommend you seek professional advice if you have young children.

USING YOUR BANK

This is probably the most expensive option as most Banks will insist on being your Executor and charge for dealing with your estate.
One of our clients was recently charged over £5,000 for a simple estate when her husband passed away.
They do not specialize in Wills and you will probably have to take time off to deal with it.
