Will Writing Service & Will Reviews

When you make or update a Will, you are putting clear instructions in place for the people you care about. You may be thinking about who should inherit, who should deal with your estate, and what you want to happen to your home, savings and personal possessions. If you have not done this before, it is normal to feel unsure where to start, or to worry about missing something important.

Our role is to give you calm structure and clear direction. We help you understand your options, draft a Will that reflects what you want, and make sure it is properly prepared so it stands up in practice. If you already have a Will, we can review it and advise whether a simple update is enough or whether a fresh document would better protect you.

In England and Wales, a valid Will needs to meet specific legal requirements, and small details can have a big impact on what happens later. A Will can also work alongside wider planning, for example where you want to make provision for children, manage how assets pass to a partner, or reduce uncertainty in more complex family situations.

People come to us in very different circumstances. You might be making your first Will, reviewing one after marriage or separation, or updating plans after a house move or a change in finances. You might want to provide for a partner while protecting children from a previous relationship, set out guardianship wishes for young children, or clarify intentions where property is owned jointly. If you own a business, you may also want your Will to sit sensibly alongside ownership and succession planning.

We will guide you in clear language, at a pace that feels manageable, with a steady plan for what to do first and what can wait. Where your instructions touch wider estate planning, such as inheritance tax planning, trusts or Powers of Attorney, we bring the right specialists together so the advice is joined up and practical.

We make it possible to put clear arrangements in place with confidence and control.

Our private client work is supported by recognised standards and professional membership. The firm holds Lexcel, the Law Society’s practice management standard, and the team includes members of STEP, the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners, offering added reassurance that you are in safe hands.

We can help you put everything in place to protect those you leave behind and secure their future.

This includes:
  • Drafting and executing Wills, from the basic to the complex, including protection against potential claims against your estate.
  • Advice on inheritance tax planning.
  • Setting up Trusts that help protect your assets and reduce potential tax liabilities.
  • Preparing statutory Wills, for those who lack mental capacity via the Court of Protection.
  • Preparing Lasting Powers of Attorneys.

Being well prepared helps protect against issues with your estate, so that what you leave behind goes to the right people. It also makes things easier for your loved ones as they come to terms with everything, avoiding additional stress and upset.
