Why You Need a Will?
A Will Writing Service is an important professional service benefitting a wide range of people, of all ages and every marital status. If you are looking into your options with regards to Will writing services you may well be asking, “Why do I need a Will”?
Put simply, a Will allows you specify your wishes for what happens to your property and assets after your death. Almost everyone has a need for a Will and an increasing number of people are ensuring that they maintain an up-to-date, valid and accessible Will. Many people try to avoid thinking about their death, but preparing a Will is actually a very positive experience for most. A Will gives you peace of mind, ensuring that your wishes are met and not by-passed and that your loved ones are taken care of.
There are many reasons why you may need a professional Will writing service; here are just three of the most common reasons why people come to us :
- To distribute YOUR property and possessions the way YOU want to.
YOU should be the person who decides who should benefit (‘the beneficiaries’) from YOUR estate (‘property and possessions’) after your death. By writing a Will you can ensure that your loved ones are provided for when you pass away, and that your estate is not distributed to people you may consider undeserving.
Without a valid Will your estate will be distributed according to the UK’s intestacy rules – and importantly, NOT according to YOUR wishes.
- To minimise Inheritance Tax.
An increasing number of deceased person’s estates are caught by Inheritance Tax, mainly due to the steep increase in property prices that we have experienced over the last 10-15 years. Inheritance Tax can be reduced or avoided altogether with the correct advice offered by a professional Will writing service.
It is such a pity to have a proportion of the value of your estate which you have worked so hard to earn and maintain throughout your lifetime, simply sliced away after your death.
- To appoint Guardians for your children.
If you have children, it will be important to you to ensure that your children’s interests are looked after in the event of your untimely death. You can appoint someone you trust to take on the role of Guardian(s) and be responsible for your children. The Guardian(s) could also be responsible for holding the children’s inheritance in trust until they reach adulthood and are permitted to receive it.

What Happens if You Die Without a Will?
If you pass away having failed to make a valid Will you are said to have died ‘intestate’. Most people wrongly assume that their estate will automatically pass directly to their next of kin. But the rules of intestacy are not so straightforward and will almost certainly FAIL to exactly represent YOUR wishes.
- The Government will divide your estate – and even very distant relatives may benefit.
- Your estate will usually take much longer to distribute.
- The costs will usually be far greater – so less money will end up with beneficiaries.
- If you have children under 18 you give up the right to decide who looks after them.
- If you have a co-habiting partner (not married) they are not legally entitled to anything at all.
Put simply, passing away without a Will causes further stress and heartache to your grieving relatives.
