Will Writing & Keeping

A will is a legal document that expresses your wishes about what should happen to your property and possessions after you die. It allows you to decide who inherits your assets, who will look after any minor children, and who will be responsible for carrying out your instructions (your executor).

Without a will, you die "intestate," and the law decides how your estate is distributed according to a fixed formula. This may not match what you would have wanted - your assets might go to relatives you're not close to, or a partner you're not married to might receive nothing at all.

A properly written will gives you control. You can leave specific items to specific people, set up trusts for children or others who shouldn't receive large sums directly, make charitable donations, and even leave instructions about your funeral preferences.

For a will to be legally valid, it must meet certain requirements - it must be in writing, properly signed, and witnessed by two people who won't inherit from it. It should be stored safely where your executors can find it, and updated when your circumstances change.

We help you create a will that accurately reflects your wishes and is legally sound. We begin by understanding your family situation, your assets, and what you want to achieve. We then explain your options and help you make informed decisions.

Our will writing service includes drafting a professionally prepared will, arranging proper signing and witnessing, and secure storage of your original document. We also provide related documents like powers of attorney, which allow someone to manage your affairs if you become unable to do so yourself.

We recommend reviewing your will every few years or whenever your circumstances change significantly. We offer update services to ensure your will always reflects your current wishes and family situation.
