wills online

Start writing your Will online now…

None of us like to think about what will happen when we die. However, without proper provisions in place, your family could endure unnecessary hardship and suffering through lengthy delays and unexpected costs.

Making a will enables you to decide who will benefit from any assets you leave behind and where young children are concerned, who will care for them, rather than leaving these decisions to the courts.

For greater peace of mind and security

Choosing to write your Will is an important step and it will provide greater peace of mind and security for you and your family. This is why we want to help.

We appreciate that your personal circumstances are unique and it is therefore important that this is reflected in your Will. Our specialist team is here to provide guidance and recommendations to help you plan for the future. For many people a standard Will is satisfactory in expressing their wishes. However, if your assets exceed a certain value then you could have future liability for Inheritance Tax and we will need to advise you accordingly before your personal Will can be written.

Simply complete this questionnaire and click on the button below to send it to us. We will then contact you at the earliest opportunity to further discuss your details, or arrange a meeting, so that your final Will document can be prepared.

  Section 3 - Advance Directives

An Advanced Directive is also known as a Living Will. It is a legal device made by yourself
to protect your interests should you become seriously ill and legally incompetent in the future,
at which time you may no longer be capable of making your wishes known.

Should you choose to include a Directive within your Will it will document your healthcare
decision about any treatment that you do or do not wish to receive. This information will also
be copied to your GP for his / her future consideration, should the need arise. Living Wills are
recognised by the British Medical Association (BMA) and the Royal College of Nursing (RCN).

Please contact us now (CLICK HERE button) for personal advice about preparing an Advanced Directive
