Wills & Probate
WILLS & PROBATE
The majority of adults in the UK have not made a will. However, there are many good reasons for making a will which far outweigh the affordable cost.
If you are based in Hillingdon and want to get sensible and practical advice on creating a will or advice related to any aspects of wills and probate and inheritance, our wills and probate team are here to help.
Why make a will
Making a will creates certainty; you can be exactly sure of who inherits your life’s work and in what amounts. If the unfortunate does happen, you can be sure that your loved ones will benefit and emotional distress over financial issues and inheritance disputes can be minimised.
Concrete benefits include:
- Not having your estate divided according to government rules (passing away without a will is known as dying intestate)
- Making sure heirlooms are preserved
- Lessening or avoiding inheritance tax altogether
- Being able to chose guardians for children
- Allowing young children to benefit from your assets by creating a trust
- Being able to choose your executors
- Being able to choose your own funeral arrangements
- Being able to make charitable donations
