This month is Will Aid – and our lawyers are volunteering their time and waiving their fee for writing a basic Will. All we ask is that our clients make a donation to charity.

It is so important that people make a Will. Without one the law decides how your estate is passed on, and this might not be in line with your wishes, so to ensure your loved ones are provided for after your death and to save your family unnecessary distress at an already difficult time, make sure you have a professionally drafted Will.

Even if you already have a Will, it is important to update it every 3-5 years, especially if your circumstances have changed. If you now have children or grandchildren, if you are recently divorced or separated, or have a Partner but are not legally married, or if perhaps a beneficiary named in your Will has deceased, then make sure your Will reflects what you want to happen when you die.
