Will Writing Services

The loss of a loved one is always a difficult and emotional time. One of the things which can make it easier for family and friends to deal with is an up-to-date, properly drafted Will.

As with everything we do at Whitehead Monckton, we handle matters relating to Wills and probate with sympathy, professionalism and the utmost discretion. When you have made a Will, you will have peace of mind knowing that you have not only made sure assets will be divided up in accordance with your wishes after your death but also that you have completed one of the most important ways of protecting your family’s future.

Why it is important to make a Will

Why it is important to make a Will

Choosing the right Will Writing Service for you is significant as your Will can be a powerful tool to help your loved ones. With the guidance of a specialised Will Solicitor, you can rest assured that your relatives will be comforted as a solid, Personalised Will can do the following;

  • Ease the difficult job of sorting your financial affairs after your death
  • It can ensure your assets are left to the people you want to benefit
  • It can protect your family by appointing guardians for your children
  • It can save you and your family money by avoiding any shocks with inheritance tax or extra administrator or court fees
  • Help to avoid any Disputes about wills & estates
  • It will give you peace of mind, a precious commodity

Your Will represents probably the “largest cheque” you will ever write during your lifetime, greater than cheques for a new house, car or investment.

Just as you take expert advice when buying a car, new house or investment plan, we believe it is even more important to take expert advice when considering your Will and Will Solicitors.

When you have made a Will, you can relax knowing that you have not only made sure your assets will be divided up in accordance with your wishes after your death but also that you have completed one of the most important ways of protecting your family’s future. Succession planning can also be one of the best ways of reducing any inheritance tax (read our article Busting Common Myths about Inheritance Tax for more information) which may be due on your death.

We will ensure that your Will is tailored to your circumstances and will guide you through the process in a clear, practical and no-nonsense way.

If you don’t have a Will

Without a valid Will, when you die your assets would be distributed under the Intestacy Rules. This sets out who should receive your assets which may therefore not be in line with your wishes. To avoid this happening, you need to prepare a valid Will, and we can help you with this.
