Wills

We understand that preparing a Will can be an emotional and sometimes complex process.

Our experienced solicitors are here to make it straightforward, respectful, and reassuring. Whether your affairs are simple or involve business interests, blended families, or vulnerable beneficiaries, we will draft a Will that truly reflects your intentions.

Why make a Will?

Without a valid Will in place, your estate will be distributed according to the laws of intestacy, rigid rules that may not reflect your wishes or family dynamics. This can lead to unintended consequences, unnecessary distress and, in some cases, lengthy disputes.

By making a Will, you can:

• Decide exactly who should inherit your estate
• Provide for your spouse, children or dependants
• Appoint guardians for your children
• Leave gifts to friends, charities or other causes close to you
• Protect your estate for future generations
• Make arrangements for pets, digital assets or foreign property
• Reduce the risk of family conflict or legal challenge

A professionally drafted Will brings peace of mind that your affairs are in order, whatever the future holds.

Our Will writing services

We offer a friendly and efficient Will writing service tailored to your personal and family circumstances. Our experienced team will guide you through the process from start to finish, ensuring you understand your options and make informed choices.

Standard Wills

For many clients, a straightforward Will is sufficient to:

• Leave assets to a spouse, partner or children
• Appoint executors to handle the estate
• Set out clear funeral wishes

We will draft your Will using plain English, explain its provisions carefully and ensure it is signed and witnessed correctly to meet legal formalities.

Complex and bespoke Wills

If your estate involves business interests, property abroad, second marriages, estranged family members or vulnerable beneficiaries, a bespoke Will is essential.

We regularly advise on:

• Discretionary and life interest trusts within Wills
• Provision for stepchildren or non-married partners
• Excluding individuals from inheritance (and how to do so safely)
• Planning for Inheritance Tax through Will structure
• Coordinating Wills across jurisdictions for clients with overseas assets

Every Will we draft is individually tailored. We take time to understand your wider circumstances and work collaboratively with financial or tax advisers where needed.

Wills for parents and Guardianship appointments

If you have minor children, making a Will is the only way to formally appoint legal guardians. Without this, the decision could fall to the family courts.

We advise parents on:

• Choosing the right guardians
• Balancing practical arrangements with legal responsibility
• Including appropriate trusts for children to inherit at the right age

Updating an existing Will

Life changes and so should your Will. Events such as marriage, divorce, having children or grandchildren or changes to your assets or wishes should prompt a review.

We offer Will reviews and updates to:

• Reflect new relationships or responsibilities
• Adjust to changes in your estate or intentions
• Ensure your Will remains legally valid and effective

Even if we did not draft your original Will, we are happy to review it for you and suggest updates.
