Hope for the best, plan for the worst

Let’s get together
Whether virtually or in person, we understand that discussing a Will can be an extremely sensitive subject, and pride ourselves on our informal, friendly, compassionate approach. We’ll break down all of the complexities into easy-to-understand, simple language. Depending on your individual circumstances, it may be that we’re able to also discuss other options available to you, such as Lasting Powers of Attorney, Estate Planning, Probate, etc.
Drafting of your will
We’ll then go away and draft your Will and all of the other necessary legal documents. Your completed draft documents will be sent to your for approval. Once you are happy, we will print your Will and send it to you with clear guidance on how to sign it and have it witnessed. Most importantly, we’ll be on hand throughout the process for any advice or assistance you might need.
What happens if I die without a Will?
It is a common misconception that things will be straightforward to sort out upon your death.
Without a Will, your assets won’t necessarily pass on to those who you would like them to go to.
Your spouse/civil partner will not automatically inherit ALL of your Estate.
‘Common Law’ partners may not receive anything!
Minor children could be taken into Care whilst Guardians are appointed.
There could be lengthy delays for your Beneficiaries, as well as potential disputes.
Don't leave it to chance. We offer transparent, fixed fees tailored to the complexity of your estate.
