20+ Years Experience
Specialist Will Creation
Creating a will is an important part of handling your property after you die, but many people do not know how to set up a new will from scratch. Without professional assistance, it is hard to create a valid will that can be used as a fully legal document, especially one that gets all your wishes across clearly.
Our will-writing services allow us to produce a new will for any client that needs one, making sure that each document is legally valid and covers all of their specific wishes. Professional willwriters like us are experienced at making sure that every detail is preserved, right down to your exact preferences for who receives which personal possessions.
If you want to know more about our services, then contact us today, or read on for a more in-depth look at what we do in April 2024.
Our team of professional solicitors and willwriters understand how to construct a new will correctly and can provide a legally valid will that will not be contested or misunderstood by your family members after your passing.
A professional will writer is more than just a way to produce documents. Our will writers are experts in their field and understand how to construct even a basic will in a way that removes any doubt from your wishes.
Our experts understand how to create wills that will distribute your assets correctly, whether that means spreading property across several family members or simply leaving your assets to a partner. We focus on removing any potential misunderstandings of vague terms that could corrupt and twist your original vision.
We are a fully-prepared team of legal experts, solicitor experts, and barristers, and we can offer highly accurate will-writing services that carry out your wishes to the letter.
We also have a deep understanding of the laws in England and Wales surrounding wills and can use that as a guideline for how to form your new will document.
There are a lot of reasons that a person may decide to produce a will. As will writers, it is our job to understand these reasons and use them to form the basis of each will we construct.
If you have dependent children, then a will can specify exactly what you want to happen to them after your death. This can be important if you want to transfer all the assets you have into supporting them or have a specific caregiver you want to be responsible for them.
If you are not married or in a civil partnership, then there is nothing to guarantee that your partner will get your assets after you pass away. This makes it important to get a will prepared so that your partner can get your personal possessions when they otherwise would not.
Wills are the ideal place to put your funeral preferences. No matter how specific your wishes are, it is important to get them down in a document so that your relatives know to actually carry them out.
Without specifying your funeral plans, there is no guarantee that they will actually happen.
If you own property overseas, then you need to bring that up in your will. Overseas property can be complicated and hard to manage since the laws between countries will likely differ – but a will can give your family a guideline on what they need to do with it.
Sometimes revising your existing will is important. Very few people retain the same will for most of their life, and even a change as simple as another child can require an entirely new document to be drawn up.
This is one of the most important parts of getting a fresh will written since you want to keep your will up to date with your current life circumstances. An outdated will is still your will, and you do not want to give property to friends you have fallen out with or overlook your most recent child.
Our online will writing service make it easy to get a will produced that matches your exact wishes and standards, hitting every legal requirement necessary to keep the will valid. Even if you are just having your original will updated, a professional will-writing service can be a useful tool to have.
Get in touch with us directly if you want to discuss our will-writing service and options.
Every will is personal and unique, and we promise that we will create a will that perfectly matches with the kind of results and wishes you want to see happen after your passing.
If you want a will made, you can get it the same way anybody else does – approach us and tell us what you are looking for. Our professional help lasts as long as it needs to, and our service involves us picking out every single detail to produce the perfect will for your situation.
It is always best that you use a solicitor or professional team like us. Even if you can write a will document that is technically valid, wills still need to use specific language and wording to remove all doubt, and that means getting a professional service involved to minimize the misunderstandings.
On average, you should expect a regular will to cost between £100 and £150 in total. Mirror wills tend to cost around £250, and trust wills bump that up further to £400.
This cost covers all of the major legal work required in writing a valid will in England and Wales.
Even the smallest mistake could leave your will open to being challenged by a family member, and it takes a lot of time and effort to represent your financial situation properly in the document.
A cheaper will can be valid, but it might not offer the finer details that you want from a will document.
It is always better to pay a little more for somebody to write a will that handles your estate with care, and we try to make sure that our services never disappoint a client.
Finding a good will-writing service can seem tough, especially if you need to search your local area for companies that can provide a useful will service. However, it is important to remember that many services – including ours – let a specialist write a will online.
There is no need to use a solicitor in your local area if you can save time, money, property stress, and effort by using an online service. An online solicitor like ours is no different from a solicitor you meet in person, only with less reliance on in-person meetings and scheduled talks.
An online will is just as legal as a regular will. An online solicitor like ours is fully capable of creating a will that accurately represents your property and estate, and each solicitor in our team understands the nuances of creating a good will.
If you die without a will, then your estate is passed on to your spouse or civil partner or divided between your children if you are not in a marriage or civil partnership. If you have no partner or children and no relatives lay claim to your assets and estate, then it passes to the Crown (government).
A will is effectively just a document stating what you want to happen after your death, both to yourself and your estate. The contents of the document will decide how much money family members get, who your own home is given to, and how children and step-children are treated if you were their sole parent/carer.
This is all just an example since a will can contain countless other details. You might leave money to pay for services that you have not yet paid off or specify how your permanent home has to be used by your children. It can also include information on who gets your bank accounts, how your body is treated, and any money or gifts you want to leave to charity.
Your will can include anything that is actually legal under UK law. For example, your will might include:
Creating a will provides a lot of important benefits, many of which are almost necessary if you want to support your family after your death. For example:
There are three types of gifts you can include in your will, all of which are handled slightly differently.
A beneficiary can be an executor of the will. In fact, man executors are beneficiaries – usually multiple per will to prevent them from putting any bias towards themselves into the subject of your gifts.
Wills cover your estate, which is all of your assets. Not owning a home does not change the fact that you have an estate worth giving out, especially not since you might be worth more than you think.
A will is still valuable even with no estate at all. It specifies what happens to your body, enables partners and civil partners to have more flexibility over any assets you do have, and ensures that your funeral arrangements would be approved by any relevant law firm.
We can provide a range of will-writing advice to suit every situation, including ones that involve children you have a parental responsibility over. If you need advice on how to handle children in your will, then just let us know, and we can produce a will that takes them into account.
A large part of creating a will is to include your own funeral arrangements. This allows spouses and civil partners to ensure that you get the burial you want, especially if it is unorthodox or requires some complex setup work.
A will won’t protect you against care home fees, but it does give you options for avoiding tax. Our experts can adjust your will to ensure that you pay as few extra fees as possible in every situation.
Making a will is extremely important for any relationship, especially if your partner is not a civil partner or spouse. If you are unmarried, your partner may not receive that much from your passing, so you need a will to specify what you are leaving to them.
Tying the knot with a spouse or civil partner means that your existing will is void and that you need to have a new one written. Other than that, you can create a will in the same way as always.
If you do not have the mental capacity to create a will, then it will not be legal in the eyes of the court. This means that creating a will before you succumb to old age or illness can be important since it depends on your mental state at the time of the will’s creation.
As long as your will is witnessed correctly, ideally by two witnesses, you should not have issues with insurance policies or getting your will approved. Having properly signed and witnessed the will, those two witnesses can vouch for the fact that you wrote it in a state of sound mind.
Making a good will that is recognised as valid and legal in the eyes of the law is important. We can provide quick and easy will-writing services that offer all the right advice and support to keep you on the right track, producing a will that is perfect for your wishes.
We here at Get A Will Written understand how to handle everything from probate services to a will storage service and can ensure that you create the ideal will for your current circumstances. Your estate is important, and we are always prepared to take charge of your will-writing responsibilities to deliver excellent results.
A beneficiary can’t witness a will, by law, and neither can their partners or spouses.
You will want to keep your will somewhere safe, whether that is a bank safety deposit box or just a safe place in your home.
A will can be challenged if it does not meet the right legal standards and level of clarity, meaning that it is important to get a legally binding will. Our personal advice is to always make your estate rules clear – we can make sure that your estate preferences are described in clear-easy-to-interpret paragraphs that nobody can challenge.
Undue influence is any situation where a person was pressured into creating a will and adding details they ordinarily would not add. This is often considered a crime and voids the will if discovered.
We are fully regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and the Law Society, meaning that our advice as a solicitor team is approved by the Law Society and entirely trustworthy.
However, many companies – especially independent freelancers with no real company number, are not regulated or officially approved in any capacity. While they might create a will for cheap, you might discover at a later date that their will is completely void or uselessly vague.
Your debts do not die with you. You will generally need a solicitor to provide advice on what to do with outstanding debts.
Inheritance tax applies if your estate is worth more than £325,000 when you give it away. However, breaking it up as part of funeral gifts will usually bypass the tax. Gifts to registered charity number will also usually be exempt.
You can leave a will whenever you feel like it is necessary. Incapacitated people can even choose to have the probate service begin while they are still technically alive and can even include the decision to pull the plug on any life support you may be on.
Always get a solicitor to write your will. While you can do it yourself, the risks of making a mistake writing your own will are too great and can have very far-reaching consequences.
If somebody’s estate goes to the crown, a relative can make a case for why it should pass to them instead. Not all of these cases are successful, though.
Living together but not married or in a civil partnership? A ‘cohabitation agreement’ gives you protection
Cohabitation without being married can give your partner some legal protections, allowing them to inherit in your assets as long as you have been living together long enough.
You can only change parts of a will if everybody affected by it agrees, including those who will be worse off from the changes.
