Wills
The increasing complexity of modern family life has made Will planning more important than ever. Second marriages are common and estates are often larger than might be expected, mainly because of house price inflation. If you die without having made a Will, the intestacy rules apply in an arbitrary manner, particularly if there are no children. This may lead to your spouse having to share your estate with relatives whom you may never have intended to benefit.
The only certain way to ensure that your spouse, partner or relative etc. inherits what you intend is by making a Will. This is especially important for unmarried cohabiting couples.
We will use our specialist knowledge to help you make a Will that is clear and tax efficient. It is also important to review your Will regularly to take account of changes in personal and financial circumstances and changes in the law.
