Wills
Our Weymouth probate solicitors always advise clients to write a Will. Below are some of the reasons you might want to consider doing so;
You can decide who gets what, ensuring valued friends and important charities don't miss out
If you are cohabiting, your partner will not automatically inherit as married couples do
You can state who you wish to look after your children in the event of your death
With some careful planning it is possible to mitigate your Inheritance Tax bill
It might seem unimportant now, but leaving a valid Will can save your family a lot of extra stress and hard work in the event of your death.
If you wish to write or update yours, our specialists can help. Get in touch today and we can talk you through the process.
