Planning today means securing tomorrow.
Write, register and save your will today.
More than just a document:
If you are over 18, you need a will. A proper and registered will is more than a legal document. It is peace of mind and security.
Did you know that “rules of intestacy” are the government’s way of deciding what happens to your assets after you’re gone? Well, you might not want them involved.
- Maybe only you know who will be your beneficiary.
- Or the guardian to look after your children.
- Maybe you’d like to minimise the tax they pay.
- And ensure they’re worry-free.
Either way, with a will, it’ll all be sure to happen. Just the way you envision it.
Sit tight, we’ll go the extra mile
Everything at Kirsty’s Law is designed to give you peace of mind. This is why our will writing process is simple but goes the extra mile.
- We listen and advise: We take your instructions for a will. We can guarantee nothing will be overlooked because we care enough to listen, inquire and advise.
- We listen and advise: We take your instructions for a will. We can guarantee nothing will be overlooked because we care enough to listen, inquire and advise.
- Draft the paperwork: We leave you out of the boring legal part but we make sure to give you a chance to review and approve of the drafted will.
- jReturn for signing: No, we will not send the paperwork unaccompanied. Signing a will can be tricky, so we gladly take the drive back to help you sign it correctly.
- We have optional witnesses on standby: If you don’t have anyone you can call to witness the signing, we can bring one. All to ensure a smooth and effective service.
You might have questions, that’s okay!
Where do I find a copy of the Will?
For extra protection, we always register wills created with us with the National Will Register at no extra charge. So if the will is not found in the deceased person’s property (for example in a filing cabinet), it may be found by searching with the National Will Register.
Alternatively, it could be held by his or her solicitor or a bank.
How do I know the Will is valid?
The Probate Registry office will tell you if the will is valid or not, and why. There are lots of reasons why a Will can be invalid, for example, if it is not witnessed and signed properly, or if the testator did not have testamentary capacity (they were not of sound mind when the will was made).
This is why our approach is extra careful when preparing wills.
Who can contest a will?
A will can be contested by, financial dependents not provided for, promised heirs not included, or on grounds of testamentary capacity or undue influence. The contestant does not have to be a family member.
Who will my money go to if I don’t leave a Will?
The default order of inheritance for your estate is as follows: surviving spouse or registered civil partner (common law spouses, partners or cohabitants are not included), children, parents, brothers, sisters, grandparents, uncles, and aunts. If no surviving relatives are found, the assets will be passed on to the Crown.
With this in mind, it is highly recommended to leave a will to ensure that your estate is handled according to your wishes.
Will my beneficiaries have to pay Inheritance Tax?
Inheritance Tax must be paid on estates valued at over £325,000. Due to the rise in property prices over the past decade, more individuals are now liable to pay Inheritance Tax.
We help our clients minimise their potential tax liabilities, thereby maximising the assets passed down to the next generation.
