Frequently Asked Questions
We know that making a Will with a solicitor can raise many questions. Here are some of the most common:
Do I really need a Will?
Yes. Without a Will, your estate will be distributed under intestacy rules, which may mean loved ones miss out. A solicitor will writing service ensures your wishes are carried out.
Can I write a Will myself?
While it is possible, DIY wills often cause disputes or may be invalid. Using a lawyer for Will writing ensures your Will is legally sound.
How often should I update my Will?
We recommend reviewing your Will every five years or after major life changes such as marriage, divorce, or the birth of a child.
Who should I appoint as executors?
Executors can be trusted family, friends, or professional advisers. Our solicitors can guide you in choosing the right people.
Can I reduce inheritance tax through my will?
Yes. A solicitor can structure your will to take advantage of tax planning opportunities, maximising the estate passed to your beneficiaries.
