Ensure peace of mind for the future of your assets with our experienced will writing solicitors
Nearly two thirds of UK adults do not have a written will in place, meaning that their property, finances, and other assets may not be distributed to the people they would have chosen after their death. A will is a legal document that sets out what you wish to happen to your assets, money, and any children under 18 when you die, and is the only way you can ensure your wishes are followed.

What we offer?
Our will writing solicitors can help you create a will that reflects your wishes and is appropriate for you, your circumstances, and your assets. To make a valid will, the law requires certain formalities, and the will must state clearly how your money and any other assets should be left to those that are close to you or to any charities etc.
While a will is often something people don’t consider until they reach their retirement, it can be just as important for you to have a will in your twenties and thirties– particularly if you have children or if you live with a partner but are not married. Should the worst happen, and you die unexpectedly, a will can set out how you would wish for your children to be cared for, this is known as appointing a guardian.
Unfortunately, if you die without a will, there is a significant chance that your wishes will not be carried out as you would want them, and a costly legal dispute could arise after your death.

Our Wills, Trusts and Estates team can advise you and make recommendations to ensure that your will reflects your wishes so that you can be confident that your loved ones are looked after.
Something we often encourage clients to think about when making a will is to also consider a Lasting Power of Attorney. This is a formal legal document where you appoint one or more people (attorneys) to make decisions on your behalf if a situation arises where you can no longer do this yourself, for example you become incapacitated or unwell. Visit our Lasting Power of Attorney page to find out more.
Our single Wills start from £265 plus VAT and our joint/mirror Wills start from £450 plus VAT.
