will writing service malvern

Wills and trusts

To ensure that your wealth is passed onto your loved ones, you need to create a will.

A will not only ensures that your estate is distributed according to your wishes but can also assist in reducing an inheritance tax liability, provide added flexibility and protect your assets for your loved ones.

Home-made wills should be avoided at all costs as they often omit vital provisions required to administer your estate to your loved ones. Don’t underestimate the importance of discussing with a qualified and experienced professional what should happen to your property and money when you die. It’s not always as straightforward as you might think, and we can often suggest ideas or solutions that you might not have considered.

We offer fixed fee will writing services and our fees are as follows:

• £175 plus VAT for a standard will (i.e. a simple will containing no trust provisions).
• £300 plus VAT for a pair of mirror standard wills.
• £350 plus VAT for a will containing a trust provision
• £650 plus VAT for a pair of wills containing trust provisions

A fantastic service, professional and efficient.

Who knew writing a Will could be so straightforward when you are guided by the right people. I had been putting off writing one for ages but as part of a charitable donation scheme, I signed up with Wills & Legal Services Ltd. One of their paralegals, Stephanie, came out to see me which I was not expecting to be part of the service, to take down the details of my Will. She was incredibly knowledgeable, answered my questions and also offered some insight into Power of Attorney. A few days, maybe a week later I received an email to confirm the contents, I made one change and shortly after received a hard copy in the post for witnessing. My Will is now safely stored with them. I would highly recommend. Professional and efficient service. Thank you.

Met with Richard to organise our will. He made the process easy by giving a thorough explanation at each stage. No pressure was placed upon us to take out additional benefits. However the pros of these were explained to us. Richard was punctual and professional in his manner.

Learning about Last will and Testament…

Help us all the way being novices at this we were explain the procedure in every detail.

I found the whole process to be a bit…

I found the whole process to be a bit of a nightmare I must admit,the actual will was easy not so the power of financial attorney and power of attorney medical side there's that many signatures to get sorted with appropriate witnesses.as for the cost the advert of forty pounds to air ambulance landing spots sounded good but cost was£1200 when I walked out of there.my will needed doing but costs are very misleading and I think you should inform people of a rough idea of costs before proceedings start.as I said my was £1200 and I'm not covered for financial security of not having to sell my house to fund medical care

Reply from Wills & Legal Services Ltd

Thank you for your review, however, we do feel that we need to respond as follows: Firstly, you did only pay £40 donation for your Will. The extra money is for the extra services to which you took out, your review suggests that you paid alot more for your Will, however, that is not the case. The documents to which you note are separate and used for different means. The Lasting Power of Attorney documents, are lengthy but firstly dependent upon the number of attorney's you appoint, this will clearly results in the number of signature you require, secondly, they are standard forms produced by The Office of the Public Guardian, and so everyone is in the same boat! All our prices are advertised on our website so we are transparent and do not mislead clients. It is also clearly spoken about with you face to face upon your appointment, any queries can therefore be raised and discussed. Not sure about your comment about not having to sell your property for medical care, however, we assume you mean care fees, this is unavoidable, as it would be a deprivation of assets. Which trust this clarifies your points.

Will Creation Nationwide

Create a Legal Will in Great Malvern

Enquire Today For A Free No Obligation Quote

Creating a will in Great Malvern is an important part of handling your property after you die, but many people do not know how to set up a new will from scratch. Without professional assistance, it is hard to create a valid will that can be used as a fully legal document, especially one that gets all your wishes across clearly.

Table of Contents

Our will-writing services allow us to produce a new will for any client that needs one, making sure that each document is legally valid and covers all of their specific wishes. Professional willwriters like us are experienced at making sure that every detail is preserved, right down to your exact preferences for who receives which personal possessions.

If you want to know more about our services, then contact us today, or read on for a more in-depth look at what we do in August 2024.

Why Use Us?

Our team of professional solicitors and willwriters understand how to construct a new will correctly and can provide a legally valid will that will not be contested or misunderstood by your family members after your passing.

A professional will writer is more than just a way to produce documents. Our will writers are experts in their field and understand how to construct even a basic will in a way that removes any doubt from your wishes.

Inheritance, Wills & Probate Barristers

Our Great Malvern experts understand how to create wills that will distribute your assets correctly, whether that means spreading property across several family members or simply leaving your assets to a partner. We focus on removing any potential misunderstandings of vague terms that could corrupt and twist your original vision.

Our Will Writing Services

We are a fully-prepared team of legal experts, solicitor experts, and barristers, and we can offer highly accurate will-writing services that carry out your wishes to the letter.

We also have a deep understanding of the laws in England and Wales surrounding wills and can use that as a guideline for how to form your new will document.

Reasons For Creating A Will

There are a lot of reasons that a person may decide to produce a will. As will writers, it is our job to understand these reasons and use them to form the basis of each will we construct.

If you have dependent children, then a will can specify exactly what you want to happen to them after your death. This can be important if you want to transfer all the assets you have into supporting them or have a specific caregiver you want to be responsible for them.

If you are not married or in a civil partnership in Great Malvern, then there is nothing to guarantee that your partner will get your assets after you pass away. This makes it important to get a will prepared so that your partner can get your personal possessions when they otherwise would not.

Funeral Wishes

Wills are the ideal place to put your funeral preferences. No matter how specific your wishes are, it is important to get them down in a document so that your relatives know to actually carry them out.

Without specifying your Great Malvern funeral plans, there is no guarantee that they will actually happen.

Overseas Assets

If you own property overseas, then you need to bring that up in your will. Overseas property can be complicated and hard to manage since the laws between countries will likely differ – but a will can give your family a guideline on what they need to do with it.

Changing Circumstances

Sometimes revising your existing will is important. Very few people retain the same will for most of their life, and even a change as simple as another child can require an entirely new document to be drawn up.

This is one of the most important parts of getting a fresh will written since you want to keep your will up to date with your current life circumstances. An outdated will is still your will, and you do not want to give property to friends you have fallen out with or overlook your most recent child.

Where to get a will made?

Our online will writing service make it easy to get a will produced that matches your exact wishes and standards, hitting every legal requirement necessary to keep the will valid. Even if you are just having your original will updated, a professional will-writing service can be a useful tool to have.

Get in touch with us directly if you want to discuss our will-writing service and options in Great Malvern.

Every will is personal and unique, and we promise that we will create a will that perfectly matches with the kind of results and wishes you want to see happen after your passing.

How to get a will made Great Malvern

If you want a will made, you can get it the same way anybody else does – approach us and tell us what you are looking for. Our professional help lasts as long as it needs to, and our service involves us picking out every single detail to produce the perfect will for your situation.

It is always best that you use a solicitor or professional team like us. Even if you can write a will document that is technically valid, wills still need to use specific language and wording to remove all doubt, and that means getting a professional service involved to minimize the misunderstandings.

What is the Cost of getting a will made?

On average, you should expect a regular will to cost between £100 and £150 in total. Mirror wills tend to cost around £250, and trust wills bump that up further to £400.

Why This Price?

This cost covers all of the major legal work required in writing a valid will in England and Wales.

Even the smallest mistake could leave your will open to being challenged by a family member, and it takes a lot of time and effort to represent your financial situation properly in the document.

A cheaper will in Great Malvern can be valid, but it might not offer the finer details that you want from a will document.

It is always better to pay a little more for somebody to write a will that handles your estate with care, and we try to make sure that our services never disappoint a client.

Best Will writing service near me

Finding a good will-writing service can seem tough, especially if you need to search your local area for companies that can provide a useful will service. However, it is important to remember that many services – including ours – let a specialist write a will online.

There is no need to use a solicitor in your local area if you can save time, money, property stress, and effort by using an online service. An online solicitor like ours is no different from a solicitor you meet in person, only with less reliance on in-person meetings and scheduled talks.

Legal will vs online will

An online will is just as legal as a regular will. An online solicitor like ours is fully capable of creating a will that accurately represents your property and estate, and each solicitor in our team understands the nuances of creating a good will.

What happens if I die without making a will?

If you die without a will, then your estate is passed on to your spouse or civil partner or divided between your children if you are not in a marriage or civil partnership. If you have no partner or children and no relatives lay claim to your assets and estate, then it passes to the Crown (government).

What exactly is a will?

A will is effectively just a document stating what you want to happen after your death, both to yourself and your estate. The contents of the document will decide how much money family members get, who your own home is given to, and how children and step-children are treated if you were their sole parent/carer.

This is all just an example since a will can contain countless other details. You might leave money to pay for services in Great Malvern that you have not yet paid off or specify how your permanent home has to be used by your children. It can also include information on who gets your bank accounts, how your body is treated, and any money or gifts you want to leave to charity.

What Can you Include in a Will?

Your will can include anything that is actually legal under UK law. For example, your will might include:

• Details on who gets your home.
• The amount you have chosen to pay family and friends individually.
• Details on how much you are leaving to your partner.
• Rules about how you want your estate to be handled.
• Information about a non-registered civil partnership or engagement allows your partner to claim things that they otherwise would not be eligible for.

The Benefits Of Creating A Legal Will

Creating a will provides a lot of important benefits, many of which are almost necessary if you want to support your family after your death. For example:

• Providing financial security for loved ones.
• Making gifts of possessions and money.
• Paying less inheritance tax.
• Appointing guardians for your children.
• Choosing your executor.
• Avoiding inheritance disputes.
• Creating a life interest.
• Specifying wishes for your funeral.

What types of gifts can I include in my will?

There are three types of gifts you can include in your Great Malvern will, all of which are handled slightly differently.

• Specific gifts, which are when you decide to leave something to a family member, friend, charity, etc.
• Non-specific gifts, meaning a more general term. For example, you might leave your “collection of jewellery” to a family member, who then has to interpret that rule for themselves.
• Residuary gifts, which are anything that is left over after all other gifts are given. For example, you might decide to give the renaming assets to a registered charity number.

Can an executor of a will also be a beneficiary?

A beneficiary can be an executor of the will. In fact, man executors are beneficiaries – usually multiple per will to prevent them from putting any bias towards themselves into the subject of your gifts.

Do I need a will if I don’t own a house?

Wills cover your estate, which is all of your assets. Not owning a home does not change the fact that you have an estate worth giving out, especially not since you might be worth more than you think.

What if I don’t have anything to leave?

A will is still valuable even with no estate at all. It specifies what happens to your body, enables partners and civil partners to have more flexibility over any assets you do have, and ensures that your funeral arrangements would be approved by any relevant law firm.

Tips for writing a will if you have young children

We can provide a range of will-writing advice to suit every situation, including ones that involve children you have a parental responsibility over. If you need advice on how to handle children in your will, then just let us know, and we can produce a will that takes them into account.

Can I include funeral wishes in my will?

A large part of creating a will in Great Malvern is to include your own funeral arrangements. This allows spouses and civil partners to ensure that you get the burial you want, especially if it is unorthodox or requires some complex setup work.

Can a will help protect my home against potential care home fees?

A will won’t protect you against care home fees, but it does give you options for avoiding tax. Our experts can adjust your will to ensure that you pay as few extra fees as possible in every situation.

I’m not married to my partner – should I make a will?

Making a will is extremely important for any relationship, especially if your partner is not a civil partner or spouse. If you are unmarried, your partner may not receive that much from your passing, so you need a will to specify what you are leaving to them.

How does getting married affect your will?

Tying the knot with a spouse or civil partner means that your existing will is void and that you need to have a new one written. Other than that, you can create a will in the same way as always.

Making a will and mental capacity

If you do not have the mental capacity to create a will, then it will not be legal in the eyes of the court. This means that creating a will before you succumb to old age or illness can be important since it depends on your mental state at the time of the will’s creation.

As long as your will is witnessed correctly in Great Malvern, ideally by two witnesses, you should not have issues with insurance policies or getting your will approved. Having properly signed and witnessed the will, those two witnesses can vouch for the fact that you wrote it in a state of sound mind.

Our will writing service makes the process easy

Making a good will that is recognised as valid and legal in the eyes of the law is important. We can provide quick and easy will-writing services that offer all the right advice and support to keep you on the right track, producing a will that is perfect for your wishes.

We here at Get A Will Written understand how to handle everything from probate services to a will storage service and can ensure that you create the ideal will for your current circumstances. Your estate is important, and we are always prepared to take charge of your will-writing responsibilities to deliver excellent results.

Can any of my beneficiaries be a witness when I am making my will?

A beneficiary can’t witness a will, by law, and neither can their partners or spouses.

Where should I store my will?

You will want to keep your will somewhere safe, whether that is a bank safety deposit box or just a safe place in your home.

Can my will be challenged?

A will can be challenged if it does not meet the right legal standards and level of clarity, meaning that it is important to get a legally binding will. Our personal advice is to always make your estate rules clear – we can make sure that your estate preferences are described in clear-easy-to-interpret paragraphs that nobody can challenge.

What does undue influence mean in will writing?

Undue influence is any situation where a person was pressured into creating a will and adding details they ordinarily would not add. This is often considered a crime and voids the will if discovered.

Not all wills are regulated – Be Careful

We are fully regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and the Law Society, meaning that our advice as a solicitor team is approved by the Law Society and entirely trustworthy.

However, many Great Malvern companies – especially independent freelancers with no real company number, are not regulated or officially approved in any capacity. While they might create a will for cheap, you might discover at a later date that their will is completely void or uselessly vague.

FAQ’s

Do debts die with you.

Your debts do not die with you. You will generally need a solicitor to provide advice on what to do with outstanding debts.

What about inheritance tax?

Inheritance tax applies if your estate is worth more than £325,000 when you give it away. However, breaking it up as part of funeral gifts will usually bypass the tax. Gifts to registered charity number will also usually be exempt.

Can I leave a will If I become incapacitated?

You can leave a will whenever you feel like it is necessary. Incapacitated people in Great Malvern can even choose to have the probate service begin while they are still technically alive and can even include the decision to pull the plug on any life support you may be on.

Can I Create My Own Will Without a Solicitor?

Always get a solicitor to write your will. While you can do it yourself, the risks of making a mistake writing your own will are too great and can have very far-reaching consequences.

What can I do if I think a relative’s estate has gone to the Crown?

If somebody’s estate goes to the crown, a relative can make a case for why it should pass to them instead. Not all of these cases are successful, though.

Living together but not married or in a civil partnership? A ‘cohabitation agreement’ gives you protection

Cohabitation without being married can give your partner some legal protections, allowing them to inherit in your assets as long as you have been living together long enough.

Is it possible to change somebody’s will after they have died?

You can only change parts of a will if everybody affected by it agrees, including those who will be worse off from the changes.

Will Writing Service in Great Malvern

Enquire Today For A Free No Obligation Quote

A will is an extremely important part of your life – and your death. Without a will, you can create all kinds of financial and interpersonal problems among friends and family, especially if there are already tensions between different people in your personal and home life in August 2024.

Table of Contents

If you do not already have an existing will, then it can seem daunting to try and create one from scratch. Many people in Great Malvern have no idea how a will looks, let alone how to create a legal document that can contain all the assets they want to spread around after their death. Even a basic will can seem like a tough document to produce on your own.

The best alternative is to use a cheap, reliable will writing service. Will writers can help you put together a will that is not only legally valid and binding but accurate to your wishes and the way that you want your family to be compensated after your passing.

A will is a major part of getting your affairs in order. We are a team of specialist will writers that understand how to tailor every single will to the client’s wishes and needs, acting as legal professionals to review and amend your will as needed to better suit the legal framework it exists in.

If you are interested in getting a valid will created, then our will writing services may be the best place to turn. There is no easier way to get a will created than sitting in the comfort of your own home and letting the professionals handle it for you.

Why Use Us?

Our team of specialist in-house solicitors and experts have formed a will writing service with a strong legal core. We understand how to construct a will that will not be contested or found invalid, writing firm and decisive details that fall within the legal requirements of any written will.

Co-Op Legal Services

We consider ourselves to offer co-op legal services, with several specialists cooperating at all times. This does not impact the solicitor cost and ensures that you get the best results possible.

Thanks to our Great Malvern online will writing service, plenty of past clients have been able to rest easy, safe in the knowledge that our will writing services have given each family member the security and stability they will need. As legal documents, it takes a lot of skill to craft a will completely free of ambiguity and uncertain language.

Our Work in Great Malvern

If you want to prove testamentary capacity and ensure that your will is carried out, then you want a will that is professionally written and able to give you all the right legal cover. A professional service like ours is not just there to protect someone’s interests but to make sure that the personal circumstances behind your will do not compromise your wishes.

Inheritance, Wills & Probate Barristers Great Malvern

Our Great Malvern experts are far more than just simple will-writers. We know how to write wills that properly distribute your assets to your chosen beneficiaries, making sure that there are no vague terms or hard-to-understand passages that get in the way of a clear and direct will statement.

As a licensed team of barristers and legal experts, we understand how inheritance laws relate to your personal possessions. We also have a full understanding of the legal processes surrounding British wills and how they should be approached if you want a will of your own.

Our online will writing service provides an easy way to get a new will written quickly, tailored to your exact needs and preferences, through multiple in-depth discussions. Will writing services like ours need to be prepared to sift through legal details and personal information to figure out how the right kind of will can be constructed.

A will dictates what happens after your death, concerning both immediate family and personal friends. A professionally-drafted will is not just something you get for style – it also provides you with the legal protection and support you need to have your wishes carried out correctly.

A large part of our duties as your will writing service involves us carefully piecing together a will that matches your wishes and needs, making sure that absolutely nothing can be misunderstood or misinterpreted. Any vagueness could allow the will to be challenged, compromising your original intentions and wishes as a result.

Inheritance

Wills are commonly used to set aside possessions or assets for inheritance, whether that is your own home or just a simple lump sum of money. We know how to write inheritance documents in a way that will not leave any doubt about how those assets are distributed and the terms behind them being handed over.

This includes details like overseas assets or money that is given in set amounts every year – things that can require highly specific legal language to get right. In a complex family situation, our professional assistance can make a big difference in how the inheritance is carried out.

Probate is the process of a person getting the legal right to deal with your personal property after your death. Your will can name a family member or friend that you trust to handle your assets – if you do not, then your closest living relative may have a chance to apply for probate.

A will allows you to specify your own executor (or executors) that will carry out your wishes instead. Since probate awards some control over your assets, you may have somebody you would prefer to name as your executor – former partners, close family members, a best friend, etc.

Probate might sound like a small detail, but it can be important if you have highly specific wishes for what will happen after your death. Our will writing services take these details into account, even if they do not initially appear to be all that important.

Reasons For Getting A Will Written

There are many reasons to get a will written, some more obvious than others. This includes:

You Have Specific Wishes

Wills allow you to specify the kind of Great Malvern funeral that you want and means that your family do not have to make that decision for you. This can be important since many people have specific personal or religious preferences that will impact how they want their body to be treated after their death.

You Have Dependent Children

Providing for children after your death is important, especially if they are your own children. If you die without a will, then the courts will choose who takes care of them and what assets they are given, so specifying your wishes can be important.

You Aren’t Married

If you are not married or in a partnership, then there is no guarantee that your partner will get anything after your death. This could even include the home that you have both been living in if you owned it.

You Own Overseas Property

Owning property overseas can complicate things since inheritance laws might be different between the two countries. This often requires you to specify your own inheritance requirements – this gives your family and friends some guidelines on what they should be doing.

You Worry About Inheritance Tax

Inheritance tax can become a problem if your estate is worth more than £325,000 upon death. Specifying that everything above that threshold goes to your spouse can result in them avoiding the tax.

Things Change

Updating your will can be important if circumstances change. It is possible to keep a single will throughout your entire life (although your existing will is cancelled if you get married), but you will want to keep updating your will to make sure that it is relevant to your current wishes and list of assets.

Where to get a will written?

Online will-writing services provide a useful place to get wills written quickly and efficiently, condensing the usual will-writing process into something far more convenient. Local solicitors and online specialists like us are a great way to get your wills created on short notice.

Online wills are no less valid than wills that were written in person in Great Malvern. In fact, many online wills are written with more care and specificity than the alternative, thanks to the wider pool of experience that online specialists like ours can draw from. Online platforms are akin to an online law firm – offering the same protection in a more convenient fashion.

Keep in mind that will writing is not a regulated market. You want to be sure that you are using will and probate services you can trust, so be sure to do your research on any local solicitor you consider. Even a licensed solicitor may not be experienced enough to write more than a simple will with minimal details.

How to get a will written?

The easiest way to get a will written is to simply approach a will-writing team and start telling them what you are looking for. Our will specialists know how to turn even the most basic of will concepts into an effective legal document, all without major delays or legal hurdles.

You can contact us directly if you need a will written by experts who know exactly what they are doing. We are more than happy to take up the responsibilities of writing your will, putting all of our expertise and past successes into producing the best document possible.

What is the Cost of a Will Writing Service?

On average, expect to pay anything from £100 to £150 for a single will, £250 for a mirror will, and £400 for trust wills in Great Malvern. This can vary depending on where you go, but paying more for a higher-quality will is almost always a worthwhile trade.

A will writing service involves a lot of serious legal work and careful planning to ensure that the document is legally correct and free from any misunderstandings or vague passages. Even a small mistake in terminology can completely destroy an otherwise perfect document – many of the extra costs here are due to the time it takes to produce a good will.

A cheap will might technically be valid, but it may not offer the same fine print details that a higher-quality option does. This can become a significant problem at a later date – for example, a budget will using the wrong terminology for your civil partner or not specifying a legal guardian for your children.

Best will writing service near me

Finding a good will writing service in Great Malvern can involve a lot of searching in your own time. However, the best wills come from experts, and online services mean that you do not even need to be in the same part of the country to get a will prepared for you.

Online wills are perfectly legal, meaning that they can be a great option for people who want something more than their local will-writers can offer.

Legal Will vs Online Will

Getting a will written by local legal professionals can often seem like the right choice, especially if you do not want to spend too much time searching for any alternatives. However, online documents offer far more flexibility and often come from specialists with more varied kinds of experience.

Wills can be tricky to write, and you might think that an online will writing service would be a riskier option. However, both are fully legal – the only difference is which one suits your needs best, and how well you choose the company providing it.

The Advantages Of Getting Will Written By A Solicitor

Writing your will yourself is always an option, but even then, it can be a smart idea to get a will writer to revise and reword it. This is because:

• A solicitor knows what to ask. They will cover details you did not even consider to leave no loopholes or vague details.
• A professional can draft your will correctly, making it far more legally admissible.
• A solicitor will word your will correctly and use the right kind of language, ensuring that nothing is misinterpreted and none of your wishes can be spun into something they are not.
• A good solicitor understands how to draft wills to accommodate complex family structures or tense financial stations.
• You get the option of extra steps, such as inheritance planning.

What happens if I die without making a will?

If you die without having written a will, then your assets and debts pass on to your partner. If you have no surviving partner, then any children you might have take on the estate, divided equally.

While this is sometimes fine for tight-knit families in Great Malvern that can distribute the wealth as intended anyway, this can become a problem in almost any other situation.

Divorced or separated partners cannot inherit, but cohabiting or informally-separated partners still can. Other relatives may be able to inherit under specific circumstances if there is nobody else who can, following a specific order of priority.

If you have no people who are eligible to inherit your assets, then they pass to the Crown. This effectively puts them in the hands of the government, meaning that they are no longer accessible to your family unless somebody makes a case to prove otherwise.

What exactly is a will?

In general, a will is a document that spells out exactly what you want to happen after your death. That means the treatment of children, spouses, civil partners, bank accounts, properties, assets, and anything else that you might want to specify. It also includes your funeral preferences and any inheritances you wish to happen.

What Can you Include in a Will?

You can include a lot in a will, mostly involving who in your family or private life gets what. This might mean things like giving bank accounts to a civil partner or trying to securely store inheritances until your children are old enough to use them wisely.

What types of gifts can I include in my will?

There are three types of gifts involved in a will:

• Specific, meaning a particular item you own or amount of money you want to give.
• Non-specific, meaning a general term like “my collection of antiques”. These can sometimes require some interpretation from the beneficiaries.
• Residuary, meaning everything left after the specific and non-specific gifts. This could be to a specific person, or a general order to divide everything else up fairly.

You can also give gifts to children, held until they are 18, or give gifts directly to charities as a donation.

Can an executor of a will also be a beneficiary?

An executor in Great Malvern can be a beneficiary, and the executor is often chosen from the main beneficiaries of the estate. Sometimes multiple are chosen to prevent bias and self-interest.

Do I need a will if I don’t own a house?

Wills cover all belongings, not just property. “Estate” does not mean your physical estate but your general assets as a whole.

What if I don’t have anything to leave?

Having a properly drafted will can be important even if you have no direct assets. You and your possessions may be worth more than you think, and you can also use a will to specify your funeral wishes.

Tips for writing a will if you have young children

Writing a will when children are involved can be hard – but we can help guide you through the process. Parental responsibility involves picking guardians for children who may be left parent-less, and naming them if you have any specific assets you want them to take on.

Always put parental responsibility first. You do not want to leave your children with nothing.

Can I include funeral wishes in my will?

A large part of the will involves funeral wishes in Great Malvern. These can be amended if you change your mind later on.

Can a will help protect my home against potential care home fees?

While you can’t avoid care home fees, certain methods of creating a will can allow you to not pay inheritance tax.

I’m not married to my partner – should I make a will?

Making a will is important for any partnership that is not a marriage or civil partnership. Without a will, only certain situations will result in your assets being given to a non-spouse partner.

How does getting married affect your will?

Being married – or entering a civil partnership – makes your duties as will writer that much more important. Spouses and civil partners will not necessarily need to be left anything specific, but mirror wills can still be important for ensuring that certain assets pass between you if one of you dies.

Making a will and mental capacity

If a person lacks the mental capacity to create a will, then any will they create will not be legally binding. Using an online will service may allow you to get around this problem.

Our will writing service makes the process easy

Making a will can be simple if you use an online will writing service like ours. We provide a huge range of different options for creating the perfect will for your needs, discussing each point in detail to make sure that we are creating something that matches your wishes exactly.

We can deal with all kinds of specific information, from your registered civil partnership to the inclusion of a disabled family member. If you are living in England and Wales, then our services can provide exactly what you need – and we can start writing as soon as you need us.

Solicitors Regulation Authority

We at Get A Will Written in Great Malvern are authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and are part of a recognised trade body. This connection with the Solicitors Regulation Authority shows that we are taking our online service very seriously.

Can any of my beneficiaries be a witness when I am making my will?

A beneficiary can’t witness a will, and neither can the spouse or partner of those beneficiaries. While many wills are created with around two witnesses there, our online service allows each client to create separate wills in private.

Where should I store my will?

Always store your will somewhere safe. This could be a locked safe, a filing cabinet, or a special hiding place. You need the physical document, so do not lose it, and get another created if you do.

Can my will be challenged?

Any will can be challenged, but that does not mean it will necessarily be successful. Most successful challenges involve situations where somebody is ignored unfairly in your will, or you have a request or gift that does not make sense and is not possible for your family and friends to complete.

What does undue influence mean in will writing?

Undue influence happens when somebody is pressured into creating a will, adding details they normally would not. This is not a practice approved by any legal body, and wills can be contested on the grounds that they appear out-of-character or biased towards somebody who may have forcibly had it changed for their own benefit.

Not all wills are regulated – Be Careful

Not all wills are safe and reliable. Even in England and Wales, you can end up setting wills that are not tax-efficient, that use incorrect information, or that are not even legally binding. Always choose a service or solicitor you feel confident with, like us.

FAQ’s

Do debts die with you.

Debts only die with you when there is no estate left and/or no relatives left to pay them in Great Malvern. While most debts will not incur any additional costs due to your death, they will not go away easily.

What about inheritance tax?

Inheritance tax only applies if your estate is worth more than 325,000. You can avoid this problem by splitting your money up more to get below that threshold.

Can I leave a will If I become incapacitated?

You can leave a will at any time. However, standard wills only apply if you die. The exception is living wills, which include details like whether or not you want to be resuscitated. These might also specify things that hold lasting power over your family even before you die, like property being given to family members in the event of you being severely wounded.

Can I Write My Own Will?

While you can write your own will, it is important to turn to a specialist as soon as you can. Wills require a lot of specialist legal language that the average person has not encountered before.

Even if you have every step of the writing process witnessed correctly by another person with some legal experience, the will you produce and the will we produce may feel like two separate wills.

What can I do if I think a relative’s estate has gone to the Crown?

You can attempt to claim an unclaimed estate if you think you have a reasonable justification for it. This is easiest to do when you are a relative. However, there is no guarantee that you will succeed.

Living together but not married or in a civil partnership in Great Malvern? A ‘cohabitation agreement’ gives you protection.

Cohabitation offers you some legal protection in England and Wales. Even if you are not married, you can still take your partner’s assets in many cases.

Is it possible to change somebody’s will after they have died?

You can only change a will if everybody involved in the decision agrees. This includes people who may be worse off from the changes. Challenging a will also counts.

Reasons For Getting A Will Written

Creating a will for the first time or getting a new will organised is a task that many people put off. However, it is one of the most important things you can do and may not take as much work as you have anticipated, especially when working with a professional will writer.

Getting a will organised is a way of protecting your family and loved ones following your death, ensuring that all your assets are handled in the right manner. Having a professional will makes it easier for any law firm to handle your assets following death and can prevent family disputes, issues within the family, as well as the overpaying of inheritance tax.

With a will, it will be easier for your personal possessions to be divided once you have died and ensure that your needs will be met.

Even a simple will can provide a range of benefits, and this is something we can help with. Working with professional will writing services like those offered by our brand, as well as many others, including the Co Op Legal Services, can help with many factors in Great Malvern, including:

• You have dependent children

One of the most important reasons for hiring a will writer is to protect your children. With a will, you can not only continue to provide for your children following death but also nominate a legal guardian for those who are under 18.

Your will covers more than your personal possessions, and it is a parental responsibility to ensure that your children will be taken care of even when you are no longer with them. A will can offer the same protection to your children in the form of a guardian as it would your personal possessions following death.

If you die without a will, there will be no one with parental responsibility for your children in Great Malvern, which means it will be up to the court to decide who should look after your children. This may result in something you do not want, which is why you should take some of your own time now to finalise your wishes and get them filed legally to protect your children.

• You are not married to your partner

If you are not married or in a civil partnership with your partner, then you should not expect anything to go to them following death unless you have made a will. If you are not a civil partner or married to the person you love, then this can cause a lot of issues should you die without a will.

Without the legal binding that comes from marriage or a civil partnership, it will be difficult for your partner to continue their life following your death. Even a basic will can cover their needs and ensure they get to remain inside your shared home without being a civil partner or married to you at the time.

Unless there is this legal binding in the form of marriage or a registered civil partnership, you need to have a will that indicates your wishes for your partner to protect them during this time. You should both have separate wills that indicate your wishes for each other if you are not a civil partner or married, or you can also have the same will, which is known as mirror wills to ensure all your needs are covered.

• You are worried about inheritance tax

If your Great Malvern estate is worth more than £325,000, it is likely going to be hit heavily with inheritance tax following your death. An IHT bill can be avoided by writing a will or updating your existing will to meet your current needs, ensuring that your personal assets can be handed on in full to your loved ones.

Working with our professional writing services can help you get around having to pay inheritance tax on your possessions, as we understand the exemptions that are available to all. For example, leaving everything that is above the threshold of £325,000 to your spouse or civil partner can avoid IHT and is something to consider if you do not want to pay this tax.

• Your personal circumstances have changed

Change is the only constant in life, which can make will writing difficult. However, working with a professional will writing service like the one we offer is a way to keep up with these ever-changing circumstances and ensure that your will reflects the circumstances of your life at the time of death.

For example, we will help you write a new will or update an existing will whenever you marry, divorce, or have children to ensure the right people are entitled to your possessions and care following death.

In England and Wales, your existing will is automatically revoked or cancelled when you get married. This does not apply to people in Scotland. To prevent former partners or civil partners from getting access to your assets following death, then you will need to write a will.

• You have specific funeral wishes

If you know what you want your funeral to be like and who you want to be there, then having a will is a way to ensure this will happen following your death. With a will in place, you can leave specific instructions for your family in Great Malvern so they do not have to make any decisions following your death.

This can be helpful as they may not have the mental capacity to deal with these things once you have died, but you can get your wishes by leaving them in the will.

• You have property overseas or own property with someone else

If you own your property on a joint tenancy basis, your ownership will automatically go to the other person when you die. This is part of the survivorship rules that are present in England and Wales.

However, if you own property on a ‘tenants in common basis’ then the intestacy rules will apply unless you have left specifications in your will and this is witnessed correctly. It is important to note that if you own overseas property, the rules may differ from those in England and Wales, which is why it is best to finalise your wishes in a will.

How to get a will made?

There are various steps involved in getting a will made, and while we can do a lot of the work for you, it is a good idea for you to understand the steps involved before paying for any service so you can determine what kind of help you need at this time.

Before you can make a will, there are some things you need to do first. These are things you should do before hiring our will writing services in Great Malvern, although we can help with these too. Before writing a will, you need to determine:

• What type of will you want to make
• Who do you want to inherit from you following death
• Who you would like to look after your children (if they are under 18 or you are dealing with a disabled family member)
• If you want to leave anything to a particular charity, which includes the registered charity number
• Who you would like to leave your estate to

Once you have determined these factors, it is time to start working on making your will.

The steps that are required to make a will are as follows:

1) Value Your Estate

Before you can make a will, you first need to determine what you own and how much you have. This can determine the type of will you need to make. You will need to have a list of assets that will be included in your will, which can be:

• your home and any other property you own
• savings in bank accounts and building society accounts
• National savings, for example, premium bonds
• insurance, such as life insurance or endowment policies
• pension funds, including any lump, sums to be paid after death
• investments, such as stocks, shares, or investment trusts
• motor vehicles
• jewellery, antiques, and other personal belongings
• household contents

As well as these, you also need to include debts as these are also referred to as assets in a will.

2) Decide how you want to divide these assets

Who will get what when you die is the main purpose of a will, and this is the most important step to do when it comes to writing one. This is something we can help with when you use our writing service, but ultimately the decision is yours when it comes to your estate and assets.

In this part of the process, you will need to think about who you want to benefit from your estate as well as the needs of your family, which need to be outlined in the will.

3) Determine any charity donations

A lot of people like to include a charitable donation of some kind in their will, and this is something you can determine now or at a later date.

4) Choose your executors

A single will requires at least one executor, and this is the person who will handle everything after you have died. This is a big role and one that requires a lot of responsibility, so it is something you should consider carefully.

5) Write your will

This is where paying for a will writing service can come in very useful, and we are highly experienced at what we do.

What happens if I die without making a will?

If you die without making a will, it can be difficult for your family to handle your assets in Great Malvern. Various consequences can come with not making a will before you die, based on your estate, your family, and these requirements.

For example, failure to make a will when you are not married or in a civil partnership could be disastrous for your partner, who may lose their home with you as they are not considered to be legally responsible for this. A will can also determine who has legal guardianship over your children or those in your care, which is something you need to consider.

It is always a good idea to have some form of a will written in preparation for when you die to ensure that your family is taken care of.

What exactly is a will?

According to the Co-Op legal services, a will is a document that allows you to determine what will happen to your assets and estate following death.

What Can you Include in a Will?

Everything you own can be included in a will, including:

• Household items, antiques, and other physical items you own
• Parental guardianship of children under the age of 18

There is a range of things that are included in your Great Malvern estate, which we have already mentioned. We can help ensure that everything is included in your will.

What types of gifts can I include in my will?

There are various ways that you can divide your estate in your will, such as:

• A pecuniary bequest (a fixed sum to a specific person)
• A specific bequest (for a specific item)
• A residuary bequest (a percentage of your estate)

Can an executor of a will also be a beneficiary?

It is possible for the executor of your will to also be a beneficiary of your estate.

Do I need a will if I don’t own a house?

It is a good idea to write a will regardless of what you own because there is more than just property ownership covered.

What if I don’t have anything to leave?

We all leave something behind when we die, even if it is a small selection of personal belongings which need to be organised by our family.

However, even if you do not have a lot and do not think that writing a will is worth it, you may have money or assets by the time you die, which can be assigned to other people through this legal document.

Can a will help protect my home against potential care home fees?

A trust will is what you need for this, and it protects your home or savings against future care home fees.

Making a will and mental capacity

To make a will, you have to understand what you are doing, which is to prove mental capacity. This is something you have to prove at the time that your will is written, as well as at the time it is signed by two witnesses.

Four things are required to prove this:

• you must understand the purpose of the will (which is the handling of your estate when you die)
• you must understand what is in your estate (which can be a general awareness)
• you must understand that people can make a moral claim on your estate, even if they are not a beneficiary
• you must not be suffering from what is legally known as a ‘disorder of the mind.’

Our will writing service makes the process easy

Making a will can be quick and easy if you use a will writing service. Working with us will ensure that you are getting access to the right guidance and support.

We are an authorised company number and are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), so you have peace of mind that your will is written in a way that is recognised by the law.

Where should I store my will?

Your will is stored in a safe place that can be accessed by executors when you die. We can keep hold of your orignal document as well as any other documents you require as part of your writing services.

Can my will be challenged?

All wills can be challenged, but when it is professionally drafted and backed by legal professionals like those in our team, it can prevent this from being a successful claim.

What does undue influence mean in will writing?

This is when someone has been influenced or forced to write their will by another person, and can affect the legality of the document.
