Will Writing - Lasting Power of Attorneys - Specialist Trusts
Last Will & Testament
Without a Will, your Wishes Are Just A Wish.....
You probably know who you want everything to go to when you pass away. Without a legally binding, up-to-date Will, there are no guarantees. If you die without a Will, the courts will decide how your estate should be divided up and who gets what.
This could mean your spouse and children miss out, while a distant relative lays a claim you never would have agreed to. Or the charity that means so much to you never gets the support you always intended to give them

The law treats unmarried couples as a single person meaning your partner is likely to get nothing.

If you are now married and you have children from a previous relationship they may get nothing.
