Considering Writing a Will On-line or by post?

You shouldn't!

It's as simple as that! A Will is an individual, personal document to suit your particular circumstances and needs to be written with skill and precision in order to ensure that it does what you want, how you want it. To do this adequately requires a face-to-face discussion to consider your wishes and circumstances and how they can be incorporated clearly whilst minimising administration, potential disputes and taxation. Even questions need to be clearly defined and understood before they are answered.

For example:

• If you were asked "how many children do you have?", would you know whether to include natural children, step-children, illegitimate children, foster children or adopted children?


• If you were asked to put an approximate value of your estate in order to minimise Inheritance Tax liability, would you know what to include, and what could be discounted?

If you put the wrong figure on a questionnaire, it could make a total nonsense of the resulting Will.

Everything that you have worked for is covered by your Will. It makes no sense whatsoever to risk it all by cutting corners.

A qualified and experienced specialist is vital to the process. It is only through an in-depth discussion that you can be assured that your Will is appropriate to all of your individual needs and circumstances and most effective in limiting taxes and unnecessary legal costs.
