Wills, Trust & Probate Solicitors

Without one, the Government directs, in a strict specified order, who should inherit from your estate. This could mean that your relatives, friends and charities may get nothing.

It is also particularly important to make a Will if you are not married to your partner as the law does not automatically recognise partners as having the same rights as husbands and wives.  A Will is also vital if you have children or dependants who may not be able to care for themselves. Without a Will there could be uncertainty about who will look after or provide for them if you die.

Reasons for making a will

You should always consider taking legal advice about making a Will but more so if:

• several people could make a claim on your estate when you die because they depend on you financially;
• you are not married but have a long term partner
• you have children under the age of 18
• your permanent home is not in the UK or you are not a British citizen;
• you live here but you have overseas property; or
• you own all or part of a business.
