Will Solicitors London

“In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” Benjamin Franklin

Unfortunately, death is a certainty and there is no way that it can be avoided. While no one likes to think of their own morality it is sadly something that needs to be considered by all. With the help of our Will Solicitors London, we can help to ensure that a valid Will is in place for when the time inevitably comes.

Making a Will is an essential document for anyone over the age of 18, especially if you have children or assets.

Why Do I Need Guidance From Will Solicitors London?

Do you know, with certainty, what will happen to your assets should you pass away without making a Will? Many people assume that their entire estate will pass to their surviving spouse/partner and if there is no spouse/partner, then to their children. The Intestacy rules provide an outline of what happens to your assets when you die and are quite archaic in their nature. They do not take into account second marriages, unmarried or co-habiting couples which may require the help of family solicitors London.

This means that the following people have no automatic right to inherit where someone dies without leaving a Will:

  • Unmarried Partners
  • Lesbian Or Gay Partners Not Married Nor In A Civil Partnership
  • Children
  • Children of your first marriage
  • Relations By Marriage
  • Close Friends
  • Carers

Worse still, if there are no surviving relatives who can inherit under the rules of Intestacy? Distant family members or the estate passes to the Crown.

Without a Will in place, you could cause your family hardship, worry and even costly legal bills if there is any confusion or disagreement after your death.

Wills Solicitors London can avoid this pitfall and will talk to you carefully about all of your options and concerns in writing a Will.

If someone makes a Will, it can be invalid for a number of reasons. Wills Solicitors London will avoid this risk. If the Will is invalid then the rules of intestacy will also apply as if you had not made a Will in the first place. Wills Solicitors London will ensure that if you leave a Will, it will be valid and your nearest and dearest are looked after in accordance with your wishes.
