What is a Will?

A Will lets you decide what happens to your money, property, shares, and possessions after your death. A vital part of future planning, it is a way to deliver peace of mind to yourself and those beneficiaries, who will therefore have certainty in what they will receive.

During a time of unimaginable grief after losing a loved one, the last thing that should be considered and, unfortunately, argued over is financial expectations and who receives what from the deceased’s estates.

This is far too common and distracts those involved in dealing with the death of someone close to them from the more important focus that is relying on the emotional support and love of those around them to deal with the loss.

Why should Wills be on your agenda?

Getting a valid Will in place is an important step in securing a settled future while avoiding the possibility for uncertainty and division among your loved ones. There are many other reasons for getting a Will arranged:

• If you die without a Will, your significant others may not be legally entitled to what you want them to have
• The partner you live with, but are not married or in a civil partnership with, isn’t able to inherit without a valid Will in place
• Have you considered what happens to your children if both you and their other parent die? Avoid any uncertainty with a legally binding Will
• Have your circumstances changed – in terms of new/more properties, additional children or different recipients etc - since you last created a Will? These changes could make your Will invalid as the legal requirement is to create a new Will based on the new circumstances.

I had been putting off writing my Will for some time as I thought it would be time-consuming and difficult. After losing my husband unexpectedly at just 50 I knew I needed to make my Will now. Rebecca made the process effortless; I wish I had done it ages ago. It’s very reasonably priced too! Thank you.

When to use legal support for a Will?

The expertise of a legal professional is an important part of the Wills process, not least to avoid making some common mistakes including:

• Missing out elements of the estate which may have been forgotten about
• Failing to account for the possibility of a beneficiary passing before the person making the Will
• Not ensuring alterations are signed and witnessed.

Avoiding these common errors is important, but your circumstances may dictate the need for a solicitor as well. If you share a property with someone who is not your husband, wife or civil partner then you may need expert guidance to advise you.

You may also need help if it becomes more complex, for example, if you are living permanently outside the UK, if you have a more complex family scenario, or if there’s a business involved.

These factors could complicate matters. Make sure you rely on the legal experience of Winn Solicitors’ dedicated team.

Once confirmed, you will be given a version of the document and Winns will safely store a version, as is a legal requirement. After this, you have that peace of mind that your affairs will be taken care of exactly how you wish them to be after your death.

FAQ

What does a solicitor charge to make a Will?

Prices vary across the industry and are also dependent on the complexity of the estate on which the Will is based. It is important to contact the solicitor directly to get a clearer picture of the costs involved. However, a straightforward Will is usually reasonably priced with the service accessible to all.

Is it best to use a solicitor to make a Will?

Although a Will can be written independently, the legal language involved and the requirement for accuracy in terms of the information provided can be daunting to those looking to create or update a Will.

By relying on the skill, experience, and expertise of a solicitor that specialises in the field of Wills, you get that peace of mind and reassurance that the process is being followed diligently, all aspects of an estate are covered, and the document at the end will be correct and legally binding based on the information provided by you.

How long does it take for a solicitor to sort out a Will?

The length of time it takes for a Will to be completed from start to finish depends on the complexity of the estate being considered. The more complex in nature, the more time that needs dedicated to collating the relevant information. However, the process duration isn’t long and can be completed as quickly as required.

Often the average time is between two and four weeks but this can be tailored to your unique circumstances.
