Your will is one of the most important documents you will sign.  We are experienced in both writing wills and also putting wills into effect following a death.

Although the Administration of Estates Act provides a basic formula for the distribution of estates where no will has been prepared, most people will wish to make gifts that may not otherwise be provided for under the Act.  The only way to be sure that your wishes will be carried out after your death is to make a will.

You should be aware a will becomes void following marriage (unless stated to be in contemplation of that marriage) and it will also be significantly altered following the granting of a decree absolute (divorce).  It is therefore essential that your will is kept up to date and we would recommend that it is reviewed every 5 years.

Wills are also a useful tool when considering the implications of inheritance tax on your estate.  We are able to advise on the most tax efficient methods of planning your estate.
