Will writing
A Will Writing Solicitor is a qualified legal professional who will work with you to create a robust and legally binding document to express your choices and instructions on how your wealth, assets and estate will be divided and distributed after your death.
For many of us, it can be tough to face up to the prospect of not being around one day to care for those around us. It is for exactly for the purpose of protecting those around you that makes having a Will, written professionally by a qualified Solicitor, one of the most important and positive actions we can take in life.
Not making a Will leaves things to chance and failing to adequately plan for the future can leave your estate and personal wealth open to higher levels of taxation than may otherwise have been necessary. The lack of a Will can also leave your family and loved ones facing problems at a time when any form of additional pressure would be unwanted and unwarranted.
Writing a Will is the only way to ensure your wishes are upheld after your time, and to ensure the best provisions are made for those around you.
Professional advice, honest, realistic, factual advice given - fully explained (everything). I cannot see how this high level of service could be improved.
The conveyance went smoothly even though for 6 of the 8 weeks it took us, both my wife and I were in France with limited access to the internet and printers. We cannot praise PSR enough and would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to move home, regardless of where you live.
Quick service. Simple Explanations. Friendly atmosphere.
Everyone I dealt with was extremely helpful whenever I called. The core team kept me well informed without having to chase for updates.
Would highly recommend PSR for any conveyancing needed.
Anyone aged 18 or over and of sound mind can make a Will. Although you may think your situation is simple, either because of the nature of your family structure or because you don’t have vast wealth or complicated assets to distribute, the process of thinking carefully about different outcomes can throw up some challenging points to consider.
Today, there are numerous online will making services of varying degrees of comprehensiveness and integrity, offered to people by commercial businesses
Given that a Will is a legally binding document with the potential to ensure your wishes and instructions are guaranteed to be enacted the way you intended, it is vital and of great value and reassurance to seek expert legal advice from fully qualified Will Writing Solicitors.
It makes no sense to leave things to chance or to create risks for your loved ones to navigate.
Forward-thinking and planning about such an emotive, yet, unavoidable time of our lives can be uncomfortable, or perhaps feel too complicated to consider, but it is the only way to protect your wealth and assets and guarantee that they are divided and shared out as you would want.
When planning your Will, you should not overlook your digital assets. These include everything from social media accounts to online banking information. Detailing these assets in your Will with instructions on how to access them can considerably assist your loved ones in managing your digital presence after you’re gone. It’s a thoughtful step to ensure that no part of your estate is left unattended or inaccessible.
We will provide the best legal advice when you feel the time is right for you to make your plans for the future. We help make the process quick yet comprehensive, but also positive in providing you with the confidence that your loved ones will be looked after in the ways you want.

Your questions answered
We offer a fixed fee service for a will and we charge £275 plus VAT. If we make a Will for two people (in a cohabiting relationship) at the same time (Mirror Wills), then we will charge £500 plus VAT as a combined price for both Wills.
If you have an existing will but require something changing, this may be able to be done by Codicil. We offer a fixed fee service for this of £90 + VAT
If your Will is particularly complex, (due to 2nd marriages, property portfolios or offshore assets), then we may need to charge more, and your exact circumstances will be considered on a case by case basis and discussed in advance of you giving us instruction.
Think about it this way. You’ve worked hard all your life to build up your assets, wealth and to create a certain quality of life for your family. You’ll have paid ample amounts of tax on your earnings along the way. So, surely you alone should decide where your wealth goes after you die and how your family, loved ones, friends and good causes stand to benefit. This is absolutely your right.
Without a Will, the reality you want for those you leave behind simply may not take the shape the way you would have hoped. You could find:
Making arrangements for life after you’ve gone is not the most appealing thing for any of us to consider, but our Will Writing Solicitors and Estate Planning teams are here to help make these arrangements with you and for you, and, in total support and appreciation of what you want.
Taking the time to consider the future is quite simply the right thing for everyone to do.

There are many benefits in making a Will that legally records your future wishes. When considering what could happen to those you love most if you don’t make a will. The choice for all is clear.
It is possible to draft your own Will, but as this is one of life’s most important documents and as legal professionals. We would always advise clients to have a professionally drawn up Will drafted by a Will Writing Solicitor.
Your Will needs to be legally watertight to ensure it is not open to challenge and only an experienced and qualified Will Writing Solicitor can guarantee that all is as it should be in the eyes of the law.
Clients get more reassurance from being safe in the knowledge that their Will has been written correctly from a legal perspective, and peace of mind, especially in later life is priceless.
If you want to guarantee that your wishes regarding your estate are followed to the letter, then a Will constructed properly by one of our Wills & Probate Solicitors will provide complete confidence.
We would also point out that where clients have an extensive estate portfolio or a complicated family background then it is even more crucial to have the Will drafted by a qualified legal professional.
Life has a habit of surprising us, and none of us can see where the land may lie in a few years from now. If you already have a Will and your circumstances change, you may want or need to change your Will.
Reasons to ‘Change your Will’ include but are not limited to:
Depending on your reason and what needs to be changed, there are essentially 2 options:
We urge you to remember, you are unique, there is no such thing as a standard or normal Will. Your Will should be a personalised legally binding representation of your wishes, providing clear instruction on how your estate should be divided and who should benefit.

If, when your time comes, you die with no Will in place, then your entire ‘estate’ (property, investments, assets, shares, etc.) will be subject to the Rules of Intestacy.
This is called ‘dying intestate’ which often results in imperfect decisions being made on your behalf. Even worse, those you love could be left with less than adequate provision altogether.
Indeed, your assets and wealth could end up being divided and shared out in ways that you simply would not have agreed with at all.
Frankly, the courts do not care about or consider your personal relationships after you die. The rules are strict and clear, Rules of Intestacy can sometimes leave those you love and care for most with nothing.
Laws of Intestacy prioritise estate value wealth distribution to your closest relatives, with spouses first, then followed by children, parents, siblings and so on. For many people in modern-day society, these historical rules can lead to dire consequences, given that many modern family structures are vastly more complex than these archaic laws were designed to cater to.
For instance, if you cohabit with an unmarried partner but are not married, then if you died intestate, your property would go to your closest relatives in the order set out above. This could leave your partner without anywhere to live.
There are other problematic consequences to be wary of in leaving no Will, for example, there is no provision under UK Intestacy Law for stepchildren, even if you have been a stepparent for years and consider these children as your own.
If you have any concerns at all, you should talk to one of our expert Will Writing Solicitors in Cheshire or North Wales to ensure your family or your loved one’s needs are enshrined in law, with your wishes at the heart of all decisions to be made.
Tell us a little about your estate planning or administration matter and one of our experts will contact you for and provide an estimate of cost.
