Making a will provides peace of mind for the future. A will is a legally binding document which states how your assets can be protected and are delivered to your loved ones after you die.
If you die without a Will, or your Will is poorly drafted or it does not take into account your current circumstances and is therefore out of date, there is no guarantee your assets and personal possessions will pass to the people you intended should inherit, and this can cause a great deal of stress, upset and financial difficulty for those left behind.
In a Will you can also decide who will be in charge of distributing your assets and who should be the guardian of your children under the age of 18. You may also make clear your preferences about your funeral arrangements.
We understand how important it is to safeguard assets that you or your family may rely on in future. Our highly experienced and understanding solicitors will take the time to listen to your needs and then tailor a will to suit your personal circumstances.
