We will endeavour to ensure that the process of making a Will is made easy for you, with straightforward advice and assistance; knowing that as an individual this process is unique to you.
Why Make A Will?
- Making a Will is one of the most important things that you can do. There are many good reasons to make a Will such as: –
- Making a Will is the best way to ensure your Estate is passed on to family and friends exactly as you wish
- If you’re an unmarried couple, you can make sure your partner is provided for
- You can make sure you don’t pay more Inheritance Tax than necessary
- If you have children, you can choose guardians to look after them in their minority
- It you die without a Will, your assets may be distributed according to the Law rather than your wishes.
