Wills, Probate & Legal Drafting

We help clients plan for the future and handle estates with care, including drafting a range of legal documents.

Overview

Planning for the future, and handling matters after a loved one has passed away, both call for care and clarity. We help clients put the right documents in place during their lifetime, and guide families through the probate process when the time comes.

We also handle a range of legal drafting work, from Powers of Attorney to formal declarations required for other purposes.

We take the time to understand your family circumstances and wishes before drafting anything, so the documents we prepare genuinely reflect what you want to happen.

In Depth

Understanding Wills, Probate & Legal Drafting

A will sets out how you want your estate distributed after your death, and who should act as executor to carry this out. Without a valid will, your estate is distributed according to fixed intestacy rules, which may not match your actual wishes, particularly for unmarried couples or blended families.

Probate is the legal process of administering an estate after death, including gathering assets, settling debts, and distributing what remains to beneficiaries. The process can take some time, particularly for larger or more complex estates, and having the right documents in place beforehand can make it considerably smoother.

A Power of Attorney allows someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you're ever unable to do so yourself, whether due to illness or incapacity. Putting one in place while you're able to is far simpler than family members having to apply to act on your behalf later.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to my estate if I don't have a will?

It will be distributed according to intestacy rules, which follow a fixed order of relatives and may not reflect your actual wishes.

Can I update my will later?

Yes, and you should review it after major life events such as marriage, divorce, or the birth of a child.

Who should I choose as my executor?

Someone you trust to carry out your wishes responsibly — this is often a family member, friend, or professional such as a solicitor.

Do I need a solicitor to write a will?

It's not a legal requirement, but a professionally drafted will reduces the risk of disputes or the will being found invalid.

What happens if someone dies without a will?

Their estate is distributed according to intestacy rules, which may not reflect what they would have wanted. Having a will avoids this.

How long does probate take?

This varies depending on the complexity of the estate, but we'll give you a realistic timeline once we understand the details.
