Will Writing Services

Making a Will ensures that when you die, your estate is dealt with according to your wishes. With effective planning, a Will can also make sure your loved ones are also provided for in a tax-efficient way.

Our solicitors can help you write a Will to:

Make sure your money goes to the people you want it to go to
Minimise inheritance tax
Name trusted people as executors to sort out your affairs when you die
Appoint legal guardians for any children who are still minors
Reflect changes in your life circumstances, such as marriage or divorce, or the birth of children or grandchildren
Ensure gifts of personal items are left to the right people
Set up trusts and make gifts to charity.

If you don’t make a Will, the law will divide your estate according to what is known as the rules of intestacy. These rules are very rigid and may not reflect what you’d like to happen to your wealth, or what is most tax-efficient.

Our will writing service is easy to use and tailored to your needs. You can make a will online, by post, by phone or in person. We can store your Will and offer free amendments as part of our Wills Assured service. We also act as executors for many clients, and have administered thousands of estates.

We can also help you make a Lasting Power of Attorney to give someone you trust the authority to make decisions on your behalf if you lose mental capacity later in life.

Our partner-led team has experts in wills, probate, trusts, estate planning and tax. We regularly deal with complex and high-value estates, often with international assets, and we understand the unique challenges this can present.

Frequently Asked Questions

When Do You Need To Review Your Will?

Having an up-to-date Will is essential to make sure your plans for your estate reflect your current situation and include everyone you want to include.

Its good practice to recheck your Will every five years, especially to make sure it takes into account any changes in tax regulations that might affect you.

You should also review your Will following major life changes, for example if:

You get married or divorced
Any of your beneficiaries get married or die
New children or grandchildren are born who you want to inherit
There’s a significant change in your financial circumstances
You come into any inheritance – this could change the value of your estate and the Inheritance Tax payable

With our Wills Assured service, standard updates are free – so you don’t have to worry about paying extra fees to keep your Will fit for purpose. Find out more.

Can You Help Me Change My Will?

Yes – we can help you write a new will or add a codicil to your existing will. A codicil is an addition to a Will that can amend or revoke parts of it. It can be enough if there are just one or two small changes, but if you need any substantial revisions it’s better to write a new Will to avoid confusion.

Our probate and tax experts can also check that your Will is structured in the best way for your estate and be able to advise on any amends where necessary.

Standard updates are free with our Wills Assured service.
