Preparation of a Legal Will

The Making of a Legal Will:

What do you you need to consider even in the context of a straight forward simple Will?

Consider who will be your trustees/executors. You should appoint two (or one and another person in default) and they must be adults. It is a good idea to appoint persons who are not too advanced in age.
Decide how you want to distribute your property on your death. If you have a spouse and children that usually means both of you leave all of your estate to each other and in the event of both of you predeceasing your children then your children will take.
Make arrangements for your children by the appointment of a guardian.

Why have a legally prepared Will?

Without a Will you will die "intestate". This means that your assets will be distributed according to rigid formulae set out in government legislation. If your Will is not properly drafted or correctly signed it may be ineffective and cause your family even more financial and emotional distress.

If you have a Will, when should you review it?

You should review your Will regularly, at least every three years, and particularly when circumstances change such as marriage, separation, divorce, on the birth of children or grandchildren, death of a beneficiary or executor.

We can put your mind at ease when it comes to the drawing up of your Will.
